Filament winding is a composite manufacturing process using continuous strands of tows or yarns from various materials such as carbon fiber Kevlar or fiberglass to yield hollow tubular parts. The process is a filamentous yarn or tow that is first wetted by a resin and then uniformly and regularly wound around a rotating mandrel along a prescribed path and allowing it to cure as needed. Well-suited to automation, filament winding is fast, cost-effective, and creates lightweight, high-performance structures.
Filament winding process manufactures carbon fiber tubing, fiberglass tubes, and other hollow structures. These tubes and structures possess excellent tensile strength, circumferential strength, and strength-to-weight ratios, and are used in a vast number of applications, such as idler rollers, driveshafts, pipes, stacks, pressure vessels, etc.
We offer a wide range of filament wound tubing:
- Inner diameter up to 500+ mm
- Wall thickness 1 to 30 mm
- Centerless sanded/grinded or CNC machining by request
- Length up to 10000mm
