Filament Wound Tubes

Janco filament wound tubes consistently meet and exceed strength and performance requirements. Filament winding is a process which draws reinforced filaments (continuous strands), mat or veil through a resin bath and winds them onto a mandrel. Winding can be helical or circumferential depending upon desired performance characteristics. Wind angles and resin volume/content can also be varied to meet your specifications. When the desired exterior diameter has been reached, the tube is removed and oven cured under controlled temperatures. When curing is complete, the mandrel is removed and the part is ready for fabrication.

Janco is one of the few companies that produces filament wound tubes with inserts or over core materials, offering the design engineer unique design options.

Our sales/engineering staff will consult with you to select the mandrel shape and diameter, thermoset resins and type and orientation of reinforcement fibers that will produce the performance characteristics required by your application. Whether it's high-strength, electrical-resistance or a need to meet demanding temperature requirements, Janco can develop a custom solution for you.
