Tube - Round - INFINITubeTW - Standard Modulus - Twill - Size 5 - 1.375 x 1.471 x 72 Inch
72” ◾ 1829mm
Unlike metals which have similar properties in all directions (isotropic), the properties of composites are varying, dependent on the orientation of the fibers in each layer. This particular carbon fiber fabric tube has an internal diameter (ID) of 1.375" and an outer diameter (OD) of 1.471". The outer ply of material on this tube is a 2x2 twill weave (diagonal appearance seen below) which will prevent fiber breakout better than unidirectional material. Thus, fabric tubes provide an ideal surface for machining. The core of this tube is almost always comprised of multi-directional "uni" plies which makes most carbon fiber fabric & unidirectional tubes ideal for bending and compression applications.
For this particular set up you can review our How to build your own INFINITubeTW Telescoping System.
INFINITubeTW carbon 1.375" ID tubing is manufactured for use with our telescoping clamps and low Friction. If you have never used low friction tapes, they are a Teflon coated with an adhesive backing. They are designed to be used as a spacer between tubes of varying diameters to provide smooth sliding action and longer life of your assembly.

- 0° Fibers maximize bending stiffness. Consider bending the tube over your knee.
- 45° Fibers maximize torsional stiffness. Typically plied together in an opposing manner, i.e. ±45°. Consider twisting the tube like a vehicle's driveshaft.
- 90° Fibers maximize crushing stiffness and generally assist in overall tube strength. Consider laying the tube on the ground and stepping on it.
