10mm (8mm) Pultruded Carbon Fibre Tube

High strength pultruded carbon fibre tube with a 10mm OD and 8mm ID (1mm wall thickness). This precision made carbon fibre tube is suitable for a wide range of applications including radio controlled models, electronics, robotics and similar. The tube is manufactured to tight tolerances using high strength carbon fibre and an epoxy resin matrix for maximum performance.

Available in 1m and 2m lengths.

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

The tube has an outer diameter (OD) of 10mm and a wall thickness of 1mm leaving an inner diameter (ID) of 8mm.

Typical Uses

This 1mm thick medium diameter 10mm tube is ideally suited for use in radio controlled (RC) aircraft, helicopters, U.A.V's and other models but would be equally suited to other precision applications like robotics and automation.

Pultrusion Explained

Pultruded tubes are the most commonly used type of carbon fibre tube. Pultrusion is a method of manufacturing continuous lengths of fibre reinforced section (in this case tube) by pulling continuous strands of carbon fibre through resin and a former before curing the resin all in one process.

Pultruded tubes feature 100% longitudinal fibre orientation which gives them excellent strength along their length but does make them vulnerable to crushing forces. For applications where none-uniform forces are likely to be encountered, including crushing forces, roll wrapped carbon fibre tubes should be considered as an alternative.

The pultrusion process allows incredible tiny diameter tubes to be produced (as small as 0.5mm OD).
