End fitting interface Titanium thread M10
Maximal length 2000 mm
Specific developments On-demand
Full space qualification File provided

Space Full-Carbon Struts are manufactured by MECANO ID from Carbon Tubes and Carbon end-fittings with central Titanium M10 threads. These struts are space qualified.

Our space qualified full carbon struts are validated by a series of acceptance tests.
In accordance with performance requirements of the application, full-carbon struts allow weight savings, temperature and corrosion resistance. Strut length is adjustable by choosing adapted tube length.
For Carbon Tubes, three levels of development are provided:

  • Level 1: standard tubes defined in our catalog with pre-defined diameters and layups
  • Level 2: tubes based on our molds (Ø15 to Ø70), for which it is easy to adapt a specific layup (fiber type, plies number and orientation)
  • Level 3: specific tubes to answer our specific customers requirements

For Carbon end-fittings, adapted threads can be chosen.
