Carbon Fibre Pultruded Square Tube – 4 x 3 mm x 1000 mm

Pultruded carbon fibre round tube manufactured from 100% unidirectional 12K carbon fibre.

The square section profile measures 4mm outside, 3mm inside, leaving a 0.5mm wall thickness best suited to relatively lightweight applications such as R/C modelling, UAVs, automation and more.

This type of profile has a high specific mechanical resistance (related to its weight), lightness, rigidity, great resistance to fatigue and vibrations, resistance to oxidation and corrosion, low coefficient of thermal expansion and durability.

Enhanced Composites carbon fibre tube uses high strength 12K carbon fibre yarn with an epoxy resin system to ensure a strong rigid rod that will meet the highest standards.

Pultruded products perform incredibly well in bending and tension (pulling) applications since all the fibres are oriented along the length of the tube (or rod). They do not however perform well in other loading scenarios such as torque, torsional move, side loads or crushing.

How to Cut and Shape

They can be cut with a band saw, coping saw, scroll saw, end mill, or dremel tool. Because Enhanced Composites pultruded carbon fibres tubes are manufactured using an epoxy matrix they will easily bond with epoxy resins.

Typical Uses

These light 10mm tubes are ideal for scale aircraft, gliders, helicopter U.A.V.’s or any construction that requires strength, rigidity and lightness but would be equally suited to other precision applications like robotics and automation. We do not recommend the pultruded tubing or rod in applications such as drone or UAV motor (boom) arms.
