Composite Driveshafts
Custom Carbon Fiber Driveshafts
All of our carbon fiber driveshafts have been built to each customer's specific needs. These composite driveshafts are used extensively in heavy duty applications or where excessive vibrations could destroy a metal drive shaft.
A major benefit of using a composite driveshaft is that in the event you should have a component failure a carbon fiber driveshaft will shred itself rather than cause extensive damage to the vehicle. Talk about strength, they are torque tested beyond 3,900 foot pounds.
Features
Wet filament wound carbon fiber (with no metal substrate) allows longer unsupported spans than are possible with metal tubes. A carbon fiber driveshaft has greater torque capacity and a higher RPM capability than steel or aluminum tube and the lower rotation weight transmits more of the available power to the rear end.
Applications
Carbon fiber (composite) driveshafts are especially effective when used in Heavy Trucks, Diesel Tractors, Refuse Trucks, ect..., where a lot of stress is experienced under heavy loads or quick power applications, It's also a natural choice for auto and heavy dynamometers.
Your driveshaft contains every bit of the power your engine produces. In low gear it delivers engine torque multiplied many times. In high gear it delivers engine torque and the peak horsepower while turning at the same RPM as the engine. To enjoy smooth, safe operation, this critical link deserves every owner's serious attention.
