In addition, unlike conventional materials, they are convincing due to their light weight. Two different telescopic systems are available for pipes made of fibre composites, the telescopic system Conquest 2.0 and the telescopic system Distance. Anti-twist devices and quick-clamping systems allow telescopic tubes made of carbon and glass fibre to be extended and shortened continuously. In the Carbon Online Shop you can order telescopic systems for carbon and basalt fibre, hybrid and glass fibre tubes in standard sizes directly. The delivery time takes between two to three weeks after receipt of order. Do you need individually manufactured tube telescope systems made of carbon, glass and basalt fibre or hybrid? Then please contact us directly. The parent company CG TEC Carbon und Glasfasertechnik GmbH in Germany develops and manufactures individual tube and rod telescope systems in fiber composite technology on customer order.
Telescopic tube systems made of CFRP-Carbon and GFRP-Glass fibre
A length of up to ten metres can be easily mastered with telescopic tube systems from the standard range. With nine-part GFRP telescopic systems, even lengths of more than 15 metres can be implemented. For transport and storage, the CFRP-carbon and GFRP-glass fibre pipes are simply reduced to their initial length of less than two metres with the telescopic system. The two telescopic systems differ not only in the material used GFRP glass fibre and CFRP carbon fibre. Conquest 2.0 telescopic systems are equipped with a safety device to prevent the pipes from falling out when the system is pulled out. The clamping sleeves of the GFRP tube telescopic system Distance do not protrude beyond the telescopic system and the application of the composite tubes is decisive for the selection of the telescopic system.
Applications of telescopic glass fibre and carbon rods
Extensible carbon and fiberglass tubes are used in many industries. In the cleaning industry the telescopic glass fibre rods are used to extend the tools. Facades, solar systems and gutters are easier to reach with telescopic carbon fiber rods. The lightness and stiffness enables good working. In surveillance and film technology, cameras are attached to telescopic fibreglass rods, and telescopic fibreglass rods with internal strands have proven to be very advantageous for channel inspections. Pointing rods for teachers and planting rods for gardeners as well as reinforcements for safety ladders are made of telescopic GFRP tubes. Technicians, designers and engineers use the flexible telescopic rods made of fibre composites for innovative products. Telescopic carbon tubes can be found in the sports and lifestyle industries as well as in furniture construction. Shafts for high-performance paddles and blades of grass illuminated from the inside, which can be seen as a work of art in Hamburg, impressively demonstrate how versatile telescopic tubes made of GFRP and CFRP can be used.
With version 2.0, the CFRP telescope system Conquest shows improvements: It has a higher clamping force and is easier to handle. As soon as maximum strength and low weight are required, the telescopic system Conquest 2.0 is a very good choice: With a quick system, the individual elements can be moved and locked in place continuously. Alternatively, the CFRP telescopic system Conquest 2.0 is also available with an anti-twist device, which is designed according to the tongue and groove connection principle. The Conquest 2.0 telescopic system can be individually constructed from various materials, such as CFRP carbon, GFRP glass fibre, BFRP basalt fibre or also as a hybrid (combination of the materials mentioned). The Conquest 2.0 telescopic system is available in the standard range with different diameters from 25 millimetres to 40 millimetres. With the two-part to five-part versions, the dimensions of the composite pipes can be telescoped from 1,950 millimetres to 8,600 millimetres. The connecting mechanism of the Conquest 2.0 can withstand vertical peak loads of up to 80 kilograms. Individual colours and custom-made products can be produced for the Conquest 2.0 telescopic system according to customer requirements.
The high-strength internal clamping system Distance allows a flexible extension of the GFRP pipes. The pipe transport length of 1,820 millimetres can be extended to a maximum length of 16,400 millimetres with the ten-part system. To do this, the pipes are twisted and fixed to the desired length. In the standard range of the Carbon Online Shop, the Distance telescopic system is available for purchase in two to ten-piece lengths. The hand piece has a diameter of 50 millimetres. The tip varies from 47 millimetres to 23 millimetres depending on the tube length. The Distance telescopic system made of fibreglass is ideal for trade fair construction and furniture making. In kite construction and camping, telescopic GFRP tubes with the "Distance" System are just as advantageous as in special machine construction.
