Olymspan High Strength Carbon Fiber Parts For Wheelchair

Product Specification

Olymspan high strength carbon fiber custom design parts for wheelchair use from China factory

Carbon fiber wheelchair

The density of carbon fiber is only 1.7g/cm3, and accessories of the same specification are more than half lighter than aluminum alloy materials, but the strength is much greater. In addition, carbon fiber also has strong corrosion resistance, and a considerable proportion of wheelchair patients face Incontinence of urine and feces and frequent contact with injection liquids and other issues, in this case, the accessories of carbon fiber composite materials exhibit durability that is unmatched by ordinary metal materials.

At present, carbon fiber composite materials are mainly used in accessories such as armrests, arm rests, foot rests, leg rests, backrests, skirt boards, and frame tubes. Most of these accessories can be adjusted in height. Carbon fiber composite materials are easy to assemble with the wheelchair through mechanical connections. The most important thing is that after the use of carbon fiber composite materials for these accessories, the overall weight of the wheelchair has been significantly reduced, and as a component with a high frequency of use, it has also become more durable.

Features:

1, 30%-40% lighter than aluminum

2, 5x times stronger than steel

3, Low thermal expansion

4, Good thermal insulation

5, High strength

6, Attractive appearance

Our production technology:

1, Prepreg / Autoclave

Pre-preg is the “top class” fabric which during the manufacturing process undergoes impregnation with resin mixed with hardener. The resin provides protection against damage and imparts the required viscosity to ensure fabric adherence to the mold surface.

Pre-preg type carbon fiber has applications in Formula 1 racing cars, as well as in the manufacture of carbon fiber elements of sports bicycles.

When is it used? For manufacture of premium quality products of complex design that have low weight and outstanding appearance.

Our autoclave generates working pressure of 8 bar that provides optimal strength of manufactured products as well as a perfect appearance of composites without any trapped air defects.

After manufacture, components undergo varnishing in the paint spray booth.

2, Resin infusion

Resin infusion is a process whereby fabric in moulds is sealed with film/butyl tape and filled with a liquid resin. When the resin solidifies, the solid resin matrix binds the assembly of materials into a unified rigid composite.

This technique has applications in the manufacture of carbon sheets and other large items that have a moderately complex shape.

3, Manual laminating

Manufacture of high quality carbon fiber products requires costly technology. Olymspan is one of the few companies that manufacture products using proprietary technologies of manual laminating that ensure high quality composites.

Our products manufactured using manual laminating technology present no defects related to air bubbles in the carbon fiber visual layer. Thanks to in-mold coating technology, all manufactured elements are resistant to UV as soon as they are removed from the mold (eliminating further spraying).

4, Customized techniques

To meet clients’ requirements and needs, we developed proprietary solutions that enable manufacture of unique products. For many years we built our reputation as a supplier who provides solutions where others failed.

We also offer expertise in microsphere and bladder inflation.
