Carbon-Reinforced Halogen Quartz Tubes: Power, Precision, and R7s Installation

We built these carbon fiber quartz glass heating tubes for the machines that need serious heat—fast—without taking up a ton of space. Think of them as halogen-filled, shortwave-IR elements that deliver a concentrated blast of heat, with temperature control you can count on. And the best part? They’re designed to drop straight into standard R7s sockets.

Power, Voltage, and Size—Straight to the Point

These tubes run on 400V, pushing high current through a compact filament path. That’s how you get 2500W of output packed into just 300mm. That kind of power density is exactly why they heat up so quickly—and respond the moment your process changes. Physically, the 300mm length and 10mm diameter give you a predictable hot zone, so the heat lands exactly where you need it. Just remember: 2500W is the fixed thermal output, so you’ll want to match your control and cooling accordingly.

What’s Inside: Halogen, Quartz, and R7s—Done Right

The quartz envelope can take the heat, and it keeps the IR spectrum steady. The halogen gas chemistry helps prevent filament evaporation, so the element holds its output longer and takes repeated thermal cycling without burning out. And the carbon-fiber reinforcement? That’s there to add real mechanical strength, so the tube can handle vibration and shock without cracking. Then there’s the R7s connector—simple, two-end bayonet. It makes wiring quick and keeps alignment solid inside the reflector or housing.

Where They Shine—And What to Keep in Mind

These tubes are a natural fit wherever you need high heat density in a small footprint—plastic processing, sealing, industrial drying. The shortwave IR profile hits surfaces fast, and the R7s mounting makes replacement on the line straightforward. One thing to plan for: that high power density means you need proper cooling and thermal management around the zone. We designed these tubes as a practical, drop-in heating solution for engineers who want heat they can trust, a fast response, and an installation that doesn’t fight you.
