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 0.375" and an outer diameter (OD) of 0.476". 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.
INFINITubeV 0.375" ID tubing is manufactured for use with button clips, push button ball lock pins or you can design your own. Specially designed clamps (size 2) are now available. Additional sizes coming soon!
Engineered tubing to the rescue! Use for making quickly deploy-able tripod assemblies, boom poles, and virtually anything else telescoping!
The Standard Modulus Benefits include;
Fabric roll wrapped tubing offers many benefits over uni-directional and even filament wound tubing. That isn't to say it is the best however. Here are a few reasons you may wish to consider fabric roll wrapped tubing for your application.
