Due to its incredible strength and light weight, carbon fibre strip (flat bar) is used in a wide range of applications including small and medium scale radio controlled planes, helicopters, boats and cars, UAVs, robotics and engineering.
Our carbon fibre strip is manufactured to engineering tolerances from pulltruded unidirection carbon fibres which means that all the strength of the strips runs laterally along their length.
Length
Our pulltruded carbon fibre strips are now available in a 1m or 2m length. Please choose the length of strip you require from the drop-down list at the top of the page. 2m lengths are charged at a slight premium (owing to the handling difficulties) so only buy them if you need the extra length.
Please note that due to restrictions imposed by the courier companies it is not possible to ship 2m lengths to some international destinations. If you have a requirement for a length of strip that is over 1m but less than 2m then it might be possible for us to cut the strip to length and therefore ship it to your destination. If this is the situation, please contact us.
Suitable Applications
Pulltruded carbon fibre strips are suitable for use in:
- Radio-Controlled (RC) Planes/Helicopters
- Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs)
- Stunt/Power Kites
- Robots
- Mechanical Control Mechanisms
Available Thicknesses
The carbon fibre strip on this page is 3mm wide and 0.8mm thick and is sold in 1m (1000mm) lengths. At Easy Composites we carry carbon fibre strips in thicknesses from 0.5mm to 2mm and widths of 3mm up to 12mm.
