20mm (17mm) Carbon Fibre Square Box Section

Pultruded 20mm carbon fibre box section manufactured from 100% unidirectional carbon fibre.

The box section has an outer width of 20mm and a wall thickness of 1.5mm leaving an inner width of 17mm.

Typical Uses

This heavy duty 1.5mm wall thickness box section is suitable for a wide range of engineering application including robotics, automation, modelmaking and motorsports. By using the box section in conjunction with gusset plates you can achieve incredibly strong structural space-frames and light-weight support structures for a wide range of uses.

Pultrusion Explained

Pultrusion is a method of manufacturing continuous lengths of fibre reinforced section (in this case box section) by pulling continuous strands of carbon fibre through resin and a former before curing the resin all in one process.

Pultruded sections feature 100% longitudinal fibre orientation which gives them excellent strength along their length but does make them vulnerable to crushing forces. Care should be taken when employing pultruded section to ensure that the fixing points which transfer the load to the section do so in such a way as to minimise any crush forces and distribute the load as much as possible.
