CARBON fibre tubes wound ± 45°, plain weave (3k)
Roll wrapped carbon fibre tubes with a smooth surface finish of 3k carbon fabric prepreg in plain weave, clear-coated glossy. Subjacent layers from unidirectional non-crimp fabric.
Fibre orientation:
- Outer layer: ± 45° (3k carbon fibre fabric with plain weave)
- Core layer: 0° (UD carbon fibre)
- Inner layer: 30-45° (UD carbon fibre)
- Interlayers: very thin glass fabric
Characteristics:
Lightweight, excellent corrosion and heat resistance and electrical conductivity. Very good torsional and hoop stiffness, but lower bending strength than other tubes.
After laminating, the wound CFK round tubes are ground (round) to size and then coated.
Tolerances:
Diameter: max. ± 0.1 mm
These tubes are usually not telescopic or cannot be telescoped without post-processing. Telescopic, cylindrical tubes see here.
