Carbon Fiber Driveshafts

Is Carbon Fiber the Right Choice for You?

With three times the strength of steel and half the weight, a carbon fiber driveshaft could be an excellent choice for your application. Its lightweight and robust construction significantly increases the shaft's critical speed. Additionally, the reduced weight allows for a smaller shaft diameter, making it ideal for applications with tight clearance, all while maintaining high torque capacity.

Advantages of Carbon Fiber Driveshafts

• Reduced Mass: Carbon fiber shafts have nearly half the rotational mass of steel tubes, allowing vehicles to accelerate off the line more quickly.
• Higher Critical Speeds: The superior strength of carbon fiber enables higher rotational speeds and supports longer driveshaft lengths.
• Smaller Package Size: Achieve the required torque capacity with a lighter, smaller-diameter shaft, ideal for tight spaces.
• Lower Driveline Stress: The inherent flexibility of carbon fiber reduces stress on the driveline while improving critical speed compliance.
