Carbon fibre sleeve Ø 160 mm / 45° / 12k

Fibre: Tenax® 800 tex (12k)

Diameter: approx. from 32 - 209 mm (depending on fibre angle)
Thickness: 0.43 mm
Ends: 144

Technical data at 45° braid angle:
Diameter: 160 mm
Width flat: 245 mm
Weight: 162.9 g/m

Application:
Torsion-proof pipes of various diameters. Orthopaedic engineering (prosthesis), sports equipment construction. The sleeve diameter can be varied by clenching or stretching. Delivered in a stretched condition.

Processing:
Use plenty of R&G release spray on the core material (slide coating) and allow it to dry. Pass the sleeve over the material and pull both ends for proper fit – fit under tension if necessary. Apply resin with a brush. The area to be processed can be warmed using a hairdryer if required. This will liquify the resin and impregnate the fibre quickly and safely. (Do not forget resin fumes – ensure that the room is well aired or wear a protective mask.) The core is gripped following hardening and the pipe is removed. Small-size components may be pre-frozen. In this way, it is easier to remove the shrunken metal core.

Please note:
For technical reasons, it is not possible to wind up sleeves at a fibre angle of 45°. The amounts differ therefore on the length at 45°.
