Amalga developed a family of carbon fiber filament wound tubes to meet the needs of aftermarket automobile requirements. These tubes varied in inside diameter, outside diameter and wind angles to provide the lightest weight, lowest cost carbon fiber drive shaft tube for each application. Amalga then worked with sister company, Composite Drivelines, to engineer, design, and develop metal end components which would allow Neapco to integrate carbon fiber drive shaft tubes into existing automotive platforms. This design took into consideration the reality that people assembling the metal components into the carbon fiber drive shaft were not familiar with composite bonding technology. Composite and Amalga worked together to develop a turn key system (which includes training) that allowed drive shaft shops to easily and reliably assemble an aftermarket drive shaft in less time than it would take to assemble a steel or aluminum drive shaft.
