Carbon Fibre Roll Wrapped Tube 22mm x 20mm x 1000mm
Slim. Stiff. Right where the range steps up from fine to structural.
Carbon fibre roll wrapped tube 22mm x 20mm x 1000mm bridges the gap between the ultra-fine small diameter grades and the more structural mid-diameter sizes. At 1mm wall and 22mm OD, this carbon fibre roll wrapped tube delivers genuine bending and torsional stiffness in a slim, lightweight format that suits drone builds, RC aircraft, robotics, and compact structural assemblies where a larger diameter would compromise the geometry. Furthermore, the clean woven surface finish makes it ready to use straight from the pack without additional finishing.
Where 22mm x 20mm Fits
At 22mm OD, this tube sits in practical territory between the fine 10mm grades and the more structural 26mm and 29mm sizes. Specifically, it suits applications where the structural member needs meaningful stiffness in a slim profile — and where a heavier wall or larger diameter would add unnecessary mass or bulk to the assembly.
Because the wall is 1mm, the tube stays genuinely lightweight. Consequently, it performs best in weight-sensitive builds where load demands don’t yet justify moving to a 2mm wall grade at a similar diameter.
Furthermore, the 20mm ID accepts standard push-rods, cables, and mechanical inserts cleanly. As a result, integration into compact mechanical designs stays straightforward without custom machining or modification.
Key Performance Advantages
- 22mm OD slim structural format — meaningful stiffness in a compact profile suited to tight assembly geometries
- Carbon fibre roll wrapped construction — carbon layers orient around the tube axis, therefore delivering efficient bending, torsion, and compression performance
- 1mm wall thickness — keeps weight low while delivering practical structural stiffness at this diameter
- 20mm ID — accepts standard push-rods, cables, and mechanical inserts without modification
- Clean woven surface finish — consistent dimensions and neat appearance straight from the pack
- Significant weight saving — substantially lighter than aluminium or steel at equivalent diameter
- Easy to machine — cuts cleanly with a fine-tooth blade or diamond wheel
How 22mm Fits Into the Carbon Tube Range
The 22mm OD sits between the fine small diameter grades and the structural mid-diameter sizes. In particular, understanding where it fits helps confirm the right choice — or points toward the next size if the load case demands more:
| OD | ID | Wall | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10mm | 8mm | 1mm | Fine structural work, RC builds, precision engineering |
| 22mm | 20mm | 1mm | Slim structural work, compact drone frames, RC builds |
| 26mm | 24mm | 1mm | Lightweight mid-range structural work, camera rigs |
| 29mm | 25mm | 2mm | Mid-small structural work, drone frames, marine fittings |
| 30mm | 26mm | 2mm | Drone frames, robotics, marine fittings |
| 34mm | 32mm | 1mm | Lightweight mid-diameter structural work, compact frames |
| 38mm | 34mm | 2mm | Mid-diameter structural members, marine, motorsport |
If the 22mm tube is right for the profile but the load case needs more wall, the 29mm x 25mm 2mm wall grade is the logical step up. Similarly, if a finer diameter suits the geometry better, the 10mm x 8mm is available as a stocked line.
Typical Applications
This tube suits any application where a slim, lightweight, stiff structural member is needed at a compact mid-small diameter. In particular, it performs across a wide range of industries and build types:
- Drones & RC Aircraft — boom arms, motor mounts, tail booms, and structural frame members where 22mm OD suits the mounting geometry and weight budget
- RC Models & Hobby Builds — structural spars, push rods, and frame members on RC cars, boats, gliders, and aircraft
- Robotics & Automation — slim structural members, linkage tubes, and compact mechanical assemblies where profile matters
- Photography & Camera Rigs — lightweight support members and fine structural elements on compact rig builds
- Kite & Windsport Frames — structural spars and frame members where slim, stiff tube is essential
- Marine — lightweight fittings, tiller extensions, and structural deck hardware on performance craft
- Engineering & Prototyping — slim structural prototypes and test rigs requiring reliable small-diameter carbon tube
