1.11" Tubing | McMaster-Carr

Often used in place of aluminum for structural frames, machinery components, and robotics, these tubes are lighter in weight and almost as rigid. Carbon fiber is known for its use in the aerospace industry where a balance of weight and strength is vital. Thanks to these tubes being lightweight, they reduce wear and stress on motorized parts to extend the life of machinery.

Plain glossy tubes and checked tubes have layers with fibers that alternate in two directions, so they resist bending and crushing across the entire tube. They have more structural integrity compared to plain matte tubes.

Glossy carbon fiber has a shiny finish that can be sanded to matte.

Flexible Metal Conduit

Conduit

Also known as FMC, this conduit offers the crush resistance of metal combined with flexibility to handle bends in tight spaces.

Zinc-plated steel conduit has a heavy zinc coating for corrosion resistance. Aluminum conduit is lighter than steel and has good corrosion resistance. It's often used to hook up motors and light fixtures.
