Products Description

 

Our round carbon fiber tubes are made using high-strength T700 carbon fiber tows (customizable), combined with aerospace-grade epoxy resin. They're precisely formed using a professional filament winding process.These tubes can be made with wall thicknesses as low as 0.5mm and diameters ranging from 6mm to 200mm. Despite being only a quarter the weight of steel, they offer up to 5 times the tensile strength.SYCarbonFiber, we specialize in custom carbon fiber tubing solutions made to your drawings-perfect for aerospace, automotive, robotics, and other high-performance industries.

Product Characteristics and Applications

 

The biggest advantage of our Round Carbon Fiber Tube lies in its designable anisotropic characteristics, which differs completely from traditional metal tubing. We can adjust fiber winding angles based on customer stress analysis - for drive shafts that need to handle torsional loads, we increase ±45-degree diagonal fiber layers; for structural components bearing bending forces, we strengthen 0-degree fiber content. This custom design capability allows carbon fiber tubes to achieve optimal performance in real applications.

In drone manufacturing, our round carbon fiber tubes are extensively used for arms and support structures. Compared to aluminum alloy tubing, weight reduction exceeds 60%, directly translating to longer flight times and greater payload capacity. Plus, carbon fiber's vibration damping characteristics far exceed metals, effectively reducing motor vibration effects on camera equipment - particularly important for aerial photography applications.

The automotive modification market represents another key application area for us. Replacing steel drive shafts with carbon fiber tube drive shafts not only provides obvious weight reduction but more importantly improves safety. Steel drive shafts create sharp metal fragments when they break, potentially causing secondary injuries, while carbon fiber tubes fail in a broom-like fiber pattern, greatly reducing danger. In racing applications, our products have passed SFI certification and can handle torque outputs exceeding 3000 horsepower.

Industrial robotics demand for our products is also growing rapidly. Robotic arm weight directly affects motion precision and speed - using our carbon fiber tubes for robotic arms reduces drive torque requirements by 31% and improves cycle times by 0.1 seconds, representing enormous value for high-volume production lines. We've also developed functional carbon fiber tubes with chemical corrosion resistance, anti-static properties, and conductivity for different industrial environments.

From a manufacturing perspective, our wet winding process precisely controls resin content, ensuring final product fiber volume fractions remain stable between 55-65%. The curing process uses programmed temperature control to avoid internal stress generation, guaranteeing product dimensional stability and fatigue life.

 

Multi-Dimensional Product Detail Introduction

Each Round Carbon Fiber Tube showcases classic carbon fiber weave textures, with visual options including 3K plain weave, twill, and unidirectional cloth. The interior surface achieves Ra3.2 or better thanks to precision steel mandrel forming and dedicated release agents. Wall thickness consistency is maintained within ±0.05mm, critical for high-tolerance assemblies. In cross-sectional view, layers are clearly defined with accurately calculated fiber orientation angles. Under microscopy, the fiber-resin bonding shows no delamination or gaps, supporting the tube's high structural integrity.

In bending tests, these tubes display excellent flexibility and a progressive failure mode-crucial for safety-critical components. Fatigue resistance is outstanding, withstanding over a million cycles of alternating loads without degradation. Our products remain mechanically stable between -40°C and 120°C. Interestingly, tensile strength slightly increases in colder environments, while modulus remains within performance thresholds at elevated temperatures. In humid heat conditions (85°C and 85% humidity), performance retention exceeds 95% after 1000 hours of exposure. Surface treatment options are available: smooth finishes for general use, lightly sanded versions for enhanced bonding, and UV-resistant coatings for visually exposed applications.

 

Product Validation

 

SYCarbonFiber holds complete ISO9001:2015 quality management system certification. Third-party testing reports from CTI show all our product indicators exceed industry averages, particularly excelling in fatigue life and environmental durability.

A leading domestic drone manufacturer has continuously purchased our carbon fiber tubes for multi-rotor drone arms for two consecutive years. Customer feedback indicates our products are not only lightweight but more importantly show excellent batch-to-batch consistency, significantly reducing their quality control workload. Another automotive parts company experienced over 15% improvement in overall vehicle NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) indicators after using our drive shaft tubing.

Our production lines feature advanced 6-axis winding equipment and online quality monitoring systems capable of real-time recording of key process parameters like winding tension, resin temperature, and curing temperature curves. Each tube carries a unique QR code identifier allowing customers to trace back to specific production batches and process parameters.

Our technical team includes 12 composite materials engineers, three with doctoral degrees, holding 6 invention patents in carbon fiber winding processes. Quality assurance systems cover everything from raw material inspection through finished product shipping. For carbon fiber raw materials, we only purchase from international first-tier brands like Toray and Mitsubishi Rayon, with complete quality certificates for every batch. Resin systems use aerospace-grade products from renowned brands like Huntsman and Dow, ensuring stable and reliable product performance.

Professional Advice Issues

 

Q1: What's the maximum diameter and length for your Round Carbon Fiber Tubes?

A1: Our current equipment capabilities handle round tubing up to 200mm diameter with maximum lengths reaching 6 meters. For customers needing larger specifications, we can manufacture in segments then connect using carbon fiber joints, with strength essentially unaffected.

Q2: Can carbon fiber tube fiber angles be customized to our requirements?

A2: Absolutely. We have 6-axis controlled winding equipment achieving fiber placement at any angle from 10 to 90 degrees. Generally speaking, 0-degree fibers mainly handle axial loads, 90-degree fibers handle radial pressure, and ±45-degree fibers handle torsional loads. We design optimal layup schemes based on your specific stress analysis.

Q3: How do you ensure product consistency during volume production?

A3: We maintain complete process parameter control systems with strict tolerance ranges for winding tension, resin viscosity, curing temperature curves, and more. Before each batch production, we conduct process trials to confirm parameters before starting formal production. We also have online inspection equipment for real-time monitoring of product dimensions and surface quality.

Q4: What testing reports and quality certificates can you provide?

A4: We can provide complete material testing reports including tensile strength, flexural strength, compressive strength, shear strength, and other mechanical property data, plus fiber content, void ratio, density, and other physical property indicators. For quality certificates, we have ISO9001 certificates, raw material certificates, third-party testing reports, and more. For special industries like aerospace, we can provide corresponding certification documents per customer requirements.

Q5: How is pricing calculated, and are there volume discounts?

A5: Pricing mainly depends on specifications, wall thickness, length, and quantities. Generally, thicker walls and larger diameters cost more. For quantities, we offer significant tiered discounts - 5% off for 50+ pieces, 10% off for 100+ pieces, and up to 15% off for 500+ pieces. We provide detailed quotes after calculating specific drawing requirements.
