Product Details ofFilament Wound Large Diameter Carbon Fiber Tubes
Heavy machinery requires structural components capable of withstanding high bending forces, torsional loads, and years of vibration. Before the widespread adoption of carbon fiber products, steel was the preferred material, but this significantly increased weight, resulting in reduced payload capacity and increased fuel consumption.
Our filament wound large diameter carbon fiber tubes offer a proven alternative. By winding continuous fibers under precise tension, we produce filament wound carbon fiber pipes that deliver an excellent strength-to-weight ratio for booms, frames, supports, and lifting arms.
Whether you manufacture excavators, aerial work platforms, or industrial robotic arms, switching to large diameter carbon fiber tube can reduce structural weight by 50–65% while maintaining or even exceeding your original stiffness requirements.

Product Feature & Application
Why Choose Large Diameter Filament Wound Carbon Fiber Tubes?
Not all carbon fiber tubes perform the same way. Roll-wrapped carbon fibre tubes work well for small, thin-walled applications. But for large diameters and heavy loads, filament wound carbon fiber boom is the better choice.
Benefit for Heavy Machinery
Continuous fiber placement. No weak seams or overlaps, truly monolithic structure.
Precise fiber angle control. Optimized for bending (±45°), torsion (hoop), or axial loads (0°)
Diameters up to 1000 mm with lengths up to 14000 mm. One-piece construction reduces assembly and welding.
High fiber volume fraction (55–65%). Highest structural efficiency per kilogram of weight.
Runfeng CFRP's filament wound carbon fiber pipes are not lab experiments. They are field-proven components already operating in demanding industrial environments.
Application Case 1: Concrete Pump Boom - Weight Reduction
Background:
A concrete pump manufacturer wanted to extend their boom reach without adding weight to the truck chassis or increasing counterbalance. The existing steel boom section weighed 340 kg.
Solution:
We designed and manufactured a filament wound carbon fiber boom section with the same outer diameter and mounting interfaces as the original steel part. The laminate was optimized for combined bending and torsion, with extra hoop reinforcement around the pin connection areas.
Results:
Weight reduced from 340 kg to 148 kg, a 56% saving.
Same stiffness under pumping loads (validated by strain gauge testing).
Lower hydraulic cylinder force required.
Faster boom cycle time due to reduced inertia.
No corrosion issues from concrete washout and chemicals.
The customer has since replaced three additional boom sections with filament wound carbon fiber pipes and is now developing a full composite boom assembly.

Application Case 2: Agricultural Sprayer Boom - Stiffness and Stability
Background:
A self-propelled sprayer manufacturer struggled with steel boom deflection during field operation. The 24 meters steel boom deflected up to 380 mm at the tips, causing uneven chemical application and inconsistent nozzle height.
Solution:
We replaced the steel main beam with a large diameter carbon fiber pipe using a custom layup sequence. This filament wound large diameter carbon fiber tube was designed with higher axial and bending stiffness than the original steel section, despite being 52% lighter.
Results:
Tip deflection reduced from 380 mm to 175 mm, a 54% improvement.
Lighter boom allowed faster field speeds without compromising stability.
Reduced stress on folding hinges and lift cylinders.
No surface preparation needed for painting. The carbon fiber finish is UV-stable and chemical-resistant.
The sprayer boom now maintains consistent nozzle height across its full width, improving chemical coverage and reducing waste.

FAQ
Q: When Can I Get A Quote For The Carbon Fiber Tubes Or Carbon Fiber Telescopic Poles?
A: Usually, we will send you a quote within 24 hours after all the details of the required products are clear.
Q: Can You Produce According To The Samples Or Drawings?
A: Yes, we can produce by your samples or technical drawings. we can create the molds and fixtures.
Q: What Is The Tolerance Of Your Carbon Fiber/ Fiberglass Products? How About The Straightness?
A: For carbon fiber/ fiberglass tubes, OD tolerance: +/-0.1mm; lD tolerance: +/-0.05mm. Based on 1 meter tube, the straightness for carbon fiber tubes:+/- 0.2mm, for pultruded composite tubes: +/-0.3 to +/-0.5mm.
Q: Can I Get Free Samples Before Mass Production?
A: Of course! When you place a mass production order, we will make pre-production samples for free for your inspection; if you are in the starting stage and want to customize your physical samples to evaluate and select production suppliers, we can also customize samples for you, just pay the relevant basic sample fee. Or, if you don't need customized samples, but just want to see the carbon fiber items we have produced before to check the quality, we can also send stock free samples for you to check, you only need to bear the sample express freight.
Q: Is The Sample Fee Refundable?
A: Yes, the sample fee will be refunded to you when the sample is confirmed and the production order is placed. For the specific refund ratio, please contact our sales.
Q: How Soon Can I Get The Sample?
A: After receiving the sample fee and confirming all the details and designs, the production time for roll wrapped products within one week, and the production time for molded products depends on the mold making time.
Q: How Should I Pay For Bulk Orders?
A: Payment can be made by T/T, PayPal, Western Union and L/C.
Q: Do You Support Product Inspection For My Production Order?
A: Of course, we warmly welcome you to come and inspect your products during production, and you are also welcome to hire a third-party product inspection company for inspection after production is completed.
Q: How To Solve Quality Problems After Sales?
A: Take photos of the problem and send it to us. We will provide you with a satisfactory solution within 24 hours after confirming the problem.
