Aluminium Tube 9/32" x 210mm

Aluminium Tubing for Armature Building

Our 9/32" aluminium tube is a lightweight, high-performance solution for stop-motion armatures, architectural modelling, and precision engineering. With a 0.016" wall thickness, this tubing provides the structural rigidity needed for puppet building while remaining easy to cut.

Perfect for 5-Strand Twisted Wire

In professional stop-motion, the quality material used is hugely important for the performance of your armature.  This 210mm length of aluminium tubing is a core element in our own Aluminium Armature Kits, specifically selected for its compatibility and strength.

• Size: This 9/32" diameter is the ideal size for our 5-Strand Twisted Aluminium Wire, creating a snug, secure fit for puppet limbs.

• Lightweight Limb Construction: Aluminium "bones" allow you to define the rigid sections of a puppet’s arms and legs without adding the weight that leads to gravity-related animation issues.

• Performance: High-quality aluminium ensures your armature remains viable for long-term shoots and storage.
