High quality PA6-LCF20 carbon fiber, special for drone rotor wing ribs
In motorsports, the difference between victory and defeat is a matter of millimeters! When traditional materials are at their limits, we’ve reshaped the performance boundaries of shift paddles with PA6-LCF20. It’s not just a material upgrade, it’s an engineering revolution.
Imagine: long carbon fibers, precisely arranged like strings, fused to a PA6 matrix by a patented infiltration technique. What does this structure bring? Extreme rigidity that makes every gearshift as precise as a scalpel!
The special conformation of the molecular chains gives the material an amazing fatigue-resistant life – even after tens of thousands of violent maneuvers, the performance curve remains as smooth as ever.
Its thermal stability in the searing heat of the engine compartment is breathtaking, with minimal dimensional changes.
Lightweight? More than light! By reducing the weight by more than half compared to metal, the driver gains not only a faster response, but also a more integrated handling.
The self-lubricating properties of the paddles allow them to remain silky smooth under extreme conditions and extend maintenance intervals significantly.
The impact resistance of the paddles is unimaginable, allowing them to cope with any sudden stress on the track.
The injection molding process combines art and engineering. Complex ergonomic curves are realized and the delicate surface finish makes the grip feel like a customized glove.
In addition to the shift paddles, it also excels in the clutch pedal and steering wheel skeleton.
We know: every team has unique needs. For this reason, we offer individualized material solutions. Sample testing is now open, so let’s build the next generation of racing equipment together!

Strength Comparsion PA6 and PA6-CF
PA6-CF, reinforced with carbon fiber, exhibits significantly higher strength and stiffness compared to unfilled PA6. While standard PA6 offers good toughness and moderate mechanical properties, the addition of carbon fiber enhances tensile and flexural strength, improving load-bearing capacity and dimensional stability. PA6-CF also has lower creep and reduced thermal expansion, making it more suitable for high performance applications where strength and rigidity are critical. However, PA6 retains better elongation and impact resistance, making it more flexible and less brittle under sudden loads.

What are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites are materials where carbon fibers are incorporated into a thermoplastic matrix. They combine the strength and stiffness of carbon fibers with the processability and recyclability of thermoplastics. For instance, they are used in automotive parts like bumper beams.
-
What are the benefits of CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites over traditional composites?
The key benefits include faster production cycles, easier recyclability, and better impact resistance. They also offer design flexibility. An example is in the manufacturing of consumer electronics casings where complex shapes can be achieved more easily.
-
How are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites processed?
Common processing methods include injection molding, extrusion, and compression molding. Injection molding is widely used for mass production. For example, in the production of small components for the medical industry.
-
What industries use CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
They are utilized in aerospace, automotive, medical, and sports equipment industries. In aerospace, they can be found in interior components. In the medical field, they might be used in prosthetics.
-
How does the carbon fiber content affect the properties of the composites?
Higher carbon fiber content generally leads to increased strength and stiffness but may reduce ductility. A moderate content is often balanced for specific applications. For example, a higher content might be preferred in structural parts of a race car.
-
What are the challenges in using CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
Challenges include higher material costs, complex processing equipment requirements, and ensuring uniform fiber dispersion. Issues with adhesion between the fibers and the matrix can also arise. An example is in achieving consistent quality in large-scale production.
