0.5mm Carbon Fibre Rod

High precision pultruded carbon fibre rod measuring just 0.5mm in diameter! With such a tiny diameter this rod could be considered to be more of a control wire than a stiff rod and is suited to small scale applications such as radio controlled models. Nonetheless, the rod is still manufactured to tight tolerances using high strength carbon fibre and an epoxy resin matrix for maximum performance.

The rod is available in 1m and 2m lengths.

Due to its incredible strength and light weight, carbon fibre rod is used in a wide range of applications including aerospace and motor racing but perhaps its most common use is recreational sports equipment, like kites and radio controlled models.

Our carbon fibre rod is manufactured to engineering tolerances from pultruded unidirectional carbon fibres which means that all the strength of the rods runs laterally along their length.

Typical Uses

Pultruded carbon fibre rods are suitable for use in:

• Radio-Controlled (RC) Planes/Helicopters
• Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs)
• Stunt/Power Kites
• Robots
• Mechanical Control Mechanisms
