Carbon Fiber Driveshaft Testing

QA1’S carbon fiber driveshaft testing meets or exceeds SFI specification 43.1. Not only are the finished carbon fiber driveshafts tested, but the materials used to make them are tested throughout the process as well including tension, compression, shear, three-point bend and surface roughness. Harmonic testing is done to determine the natural frequency of the driveshaft, and a modal analysis is performed to ensure the composite driveshaft meets the applications’ requirements for NVH (noise, vibration and harshness).
