Customizable Design 3K Carbon Fiber Hollow Tube - Electromagnetic Transparency

A carbon fiber hollow tube is a structural component made primarily of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) material. It's constructed in a tubular shape with a hollow center, offering a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent stiffness properties.

Pultruded round carbon fiber hollow tubes are created by pulling linearly oriented carbon fibers through a resin bath and then a series of heated tooling to create the specified inner and outer diameters of the tube. Carbon tubes are especially stiff longitudinally, due to the unidirectional orientation of the fibers. These tubes are stiff, lightweight composites that can be used in a variety of applications, including robotics, aerospace, industrial equipment, and more.

Here are some key features and applications of carbon fiber hollow tubes:

• Lightweight: Carbon fiber is known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making hollow tubes from this material lightweight yet robust. This characteristic is particularly advantageous in applications where weight reduction is critical, such as aerospace, automotive, and sporting equipment.
• High Strength and Stiffness: Carbon fiber hollow tubes exhibit high tensile strength and stiffness, providing superior performance to traditional materials like steel or aluminum. This makes them ideal for applications requiring structural integrity and durability, such as in robotics, UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), and high-performance bicycles.
• Corrosion Resistance: Carbon fiber is inherently resistant to corrosion, which enhances the durability and longevity of carbon fiber hollow tubes. This property makes them suitable for use in harsh environments where corrosion can degrade conventional materials over time, such as marine or chemical processing industries.
• Customizable Design: Manufacturers can tailor the design and properties of carbon fiber hollow tubes to meet specific application requirements by adjusting factors such as fiber orientation, resin matrix, and tube geometry.

This versatility allows for the creation of optimized structures with desired mechanical characteristics.

• Electromagnetic Transparency: Carbon fiber is non-conductive and exhibits electromagnetic transparency, making carbon fiber hollow tubes suitable for applications where electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding or radio frequency (RF) transparency is necessary, such as in aerospace and telecommunications.
• Cost Considerations: While carbon fiber hollow tubes offer excellent performance characteristics, they can be relatively expensive compared to traditional materials like steel or aluminum. However, the benefits in terms of weight savings, durability, and performance often justify the higher upfront cost in many applications.

Overall, carbon fiber hollow tubes are versatile structural components with a wide range of applications across industries where lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant materials are required.

Shanghai Lijin focuses on the Carbon Fiber industry and offers carbon fiber tubes, plates, and aluminum CNC services.

Being experienced in the carbon fiber applications for over 7 years, Shanghai Lijin manages customized production according to various industry standards. Shanghai Lijin started to keep in stock for some standard

sized and frequently ordered tubes and plates. This enables Shanghai Lijin to make prompt delivery. Not only

can Shanghai Lijin complete mass production orders in short period, we can even ship normal sample, prototype orders of Carbon Fiber Plate CNC parts in just SEVEN days after order confirmation when the

drawings are available. Shanghai Lijin is dedicated to solve any technical points during the production and new item developing to ensure the quality.

Carbon Fiber tube production is Shanghai Lijin’s core business and occupies 70% of our turnover.
The carbon fiber tubes Shanghai Lijin mainly produce is table-rolled and oven thermoset. The tubes can be Full Carbon or Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass composite, depending on the application, weight limit,mechanical

strength and surface requirement.Shanghai Lijin offers top quality ROUND carbon fiber tubes. The general OD tolerance we achieve is +/-0.10mm and it can be even +/-0.05mm after our special surface process.

The maximum length of the tube can be 5500mm.

Besides the traditional table-rolled carbon fiber tubes, Shanghai Lijin also offers REAL Filament wound carbon fiber tubes,which are widely used for mechanical strength like auto driving shaft, antennas, even for military

applications. The filament wound carbon tubes are wound at a certain angle like 30 or 45 degree. We invested the new production line from Jun 2013 and this increases Shanghai Lijin’s advantage in the carbon

fiber tube industry. There are just a few real filament wound carbon fiber tube manufacturers in domestic

China and we are one of them.
 

Since the rapid growth of UAV in the international market, instead of the standard plane like Phantom from DJI, RC fans are getting more interested in the customized multicopters. As carbon fiber is the most preferred

material for UAV, Carbon Fiber CNC parts demand is increasing. Shanghai Lijin sticks to offering OEM service for the international market, fine quality and prompt delivery.To ensure the thickness tolerance +/-0.10mm and minimum warp of the Carbon Fiber plates that are used for the cutting, Shanghai lijin execute high standard to

the plate production. For the normal thicknesses including 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm,
Shanghai Lijin keeps regular stock, to make sure the raw material will be available for cutting immediately when order is firmed.Experienced engineers are in Shanghai Lijin’s office ready to deal with different types of

drawings from customers. No matter the drawing formats are .DWG, .DXF that can be edited by AutoCAD

and used directly for production, 3D drawings like .IGS, or even draft drawings, our staff can do adjustment and change to customer’s idea. Our engineers are also good at English communication, Email and IM is easy

for them. Editing drawings for customers is FREE* of charge. Shanghai Lijin is having several professional CNC machines for carbon fiber cutting and drilling, with the capacity of cutting 20-50pcs standard full sized plate per day. The carbon fiber chassis general cutting tolerance Shanghai Lijin offer is +/-0.02mm. The

special designed cutting solution ensures the smoothness of the cutting edge.

‘Customers’ Persuit for Change, Lijin’s Motivation for Growth’, Shanghai Lijin takes customers’ demand for center, enhances the
customer satisfaction, and grows with customer.
