Tube - Round - INFINITubeV - SIZE 08 - 1.250 X 1.356 (All Options)

1.250" ID INFINITubeV Size 08 ◾ Gloss Finish ◾ Numerous Patterns ◾ Standard to Ultra High Modulus ◾ Huge Range of Applications

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 1.250" and an outer diameter (OD) of 1.356". 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 1.250" 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! 

INFINITubeV 1.250" ID Tubing Quick Facts

• 1.250" ID x 1.356" OD x Various Lengths
• 34 msi (700 ksi)
• Good structural properties and stiffer than aluminum
• Gloss finish, can be sanded to remove gloss. Option available in customization box
• Huge diameter range - 0.25" to 2.625" so you can hop on or off anywhere in the spectrum
• Use UHMW low friction tape to maintain snug fit & a cello wrap gloss finish
• Use the same tape above to prevent tubes from pulling apart at full extension
• All tubes (part #'s 464xx) in INFINITubeV have an ultra thin woven fiberglass inner layer to maintain superior machine-ability for hole drilling (if using button clips or locking pins) or slot cutting
• Great for machining - Fabric inner and outer plies minimize "breakout" typically associated with drilling into composites
