Pultruded Carbon Rods
Precision pultruded solid carbon rods, the go-to ferrule and spar material for kite builders and makers working at smaller diameters. From the ultra-fine 1mm to the structural 5mm spar, these carbon rods offer exceptional stiffness-to-weight in a solid cross-section. Essential for internal ferrule joins on carbon tubes, leading edge tips, and fine structural work where hollow tubes won’t fit.
Available sizes:
- 1.2mm × 1.5m
- 2mm × 1m
- 3mm × 1m
- 4mm × 1m
- 5mm × 1m
Why pultruded carbon rods?
- Solid cross-section — stiffer than hollow tubes at equivalent diameter, ideal for ferrule use
- Exceptionally lightweight for their stiffness class
- Consistent diameter and smooth finish for clean, tight ferrule fits inside carbon tubes
- Larger sizes (4–5mm) suit structural spars, antenna elements, and RC airframe components
- Manufactured to tight tolerances
Common uses: Internal carbon tube ferrules, kite bridle rods, leading edge tips, spreader end caps, RC airframe spars, antenna elements, and STEM structural projects.
