Carbon Fibre, Tubes, Profiles - Filament Winding and Composite Engineering

Performance Composites have a broad composite engineering base capable of producing components of all types whilst specialising in the manufacture of structural and dynamic components by filament winding or from Prepreg materials

Our Carbon fibre structural profiles and precision tubes offer performances that other materials cannot match, and are finding increasing application for lightweight jigs & fixtures and for machine frames

We produce tubes up to 1200mm dia. and up to 5500mm long designed to withstand all types of static and dynamic loadings

Our computer controlled filament winding machine can wind any angle from ± 0° to ± 90°, designed and built to our own specification it's modular construction allows quick and economical modification to cope with a variety of sizes. The technology we have developed produces filament wound tubes with the outside diameter finished offering significant benefits in terms of quality, performance and costs.

We have supplied precision lightweight fixtures to a major motor manufacturer resulting in an increased production rate of 30% as well as Carbon Fibre / Epoxy Tubes drive shafts to several UK companies

	We have also supplied various components to the marine industry including
	GRP Fin assemblies for survey towed bodies (MOD n. Taunton)
	GRP Rudder tubes for TRENT & SEVERN RNLI boats
	GRP Masts for submarines
	Carbon Fibre Pressure Cylinders for UW instruments
	Carbon Fibre handling poles
	And work completing the centre pole for the millennium dome (pictured left)

We have full composite laminate stressing facilities including finite element analysis.

We normally manufacture 'to order' however are prepared to carry stocks of any items that are used regularly and our production facilities offer great flexibility resulting in competitive delivery times and pricing
