Tapered Carbon Fiber Tube
A Tapered Carbon Fiber Tube is a lightweight, high-strength composite tube with a gradually changing diameter along its length. Typically made using prepreg carbon fiber, it offers excellent mechanical performance and structural efficiency.
- Lightweight Design: Carbon fiber has low density, and the tapered shape reduces unnecessary material, minimizing weight.
- High Strength & Stiffness: Fiber orientation can be optimized for superior axial and bending performance.
- Stress Distribution: The tapered geometry reduces stress concentrations, improving structural integrity.
- Vibration Damping: Carbon fiber naturally absorbs vibrations, enhancing dynamic stability.
- Corrosion & Weather Resistance: With excellent environmental durability, it resists moisture, UV, and chemicals.
- Customizable: Tube diameter, taper ratio, wall thickness, and length can be tailored to specific design needs.
