Description
Our high precision carbon fibre square bar is manufactured to high tolerances and maximum performance using pultruded unidirectional carbon fibres, which means that the strength of the bar runs laterally along its length. The smaller diameter bars are easy to bend in longer lengths but offer considerably more stiffness over shorter lengths. The stiffness of the bar increases as the diameter increases, with the larger diameter bars becoming extremely difficult to bend over shorter lengths and offering significant stiffness over longer lengths.
Pultruded carbon fibre bars are used in a wide range of applications requiring a very high strength to weight ratio. They offer excellent mechanical performance as well as very good water and chemical resistance, making them suitable for use in harsh environments.
Typical applications include model-making, engineering and automation, robotics and UAVs, recreational and sporting equipment, and even creative uses in art and fashion. If you have a requirement for machined or finished carbon fibre components, please inquire for more information.

FAQ
-
What is the advantage of using carbon fibre bars?
Carbon fibre bars offer a very high strength to weight ratio, making them ideal for various applications where both strength and lightweight properties are needed. -
Can these bars be used in harsh environments?
Yes, these bars have excellent water and chemical resistance, making them suitable for harsh environments. -
How is the stiffness of the bar affected by its diameter?
The stiffness of the bar increases with diameter; larger diameter bars are significantly stiffer and more difficult to bend over shorter lengths.
