8mm Carbon Fibre Rod

High precision pultruded carbon fibre rod measuring 8mm in diameter. 8mm diameter rod like this offers considerable stiffness even over longer lengths and becomes very difficult to bend over shorter lengths. Suitable for a range of applications in model-making, radio control, automation, robotics and UAVs, as well as creative uses in art and fashion. The rod is 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
