Bushings are used for press-fitting technology with pipes and fittings in the installation of plumbing and gas systems. Production AFA operates in the manufacture of a vast range of bushings of varying thicknesses, diameters, coupling […]

Tolerance rings Tolerance rings Tolerance rings are used as friction-based retaining elements between two coupled components. Tolerance rings are used as friction-based retaining elements between two coupled components. Production AFA manufactures standard and custom, on request, peaks. Depending on the sector of application and the specific requests, AFA manufactures tolerance rings exclusively with stainless steel. […]

Brush holder brush holder Brush holders are used to contain and direct the movement of the motor brushes and guarantee their correct operation. Made with brass, they are compliant for the transmission of electric current and available with a hard plastic central body to guarantee insulation of the support. Production AFA manufactures standard brass brush […]

Motor covers and supports motor covers and supports The covers and supports for motors are crucial for reducing motor vibrations and lowering the noise level. Production AFA manufactures motor covers and supports made of iron with galvanising treatment. Threading is made during the moulding phase to reduce the costs stemming from manual recovery. In addition […]

Contacts and Faston terminals contacts and faston terminals Faston terminals are electric connectors that are normally used in the electrotechnical industry and electronics. They are used to connect the ends of two conductors and allow electric current without the use of a mechanical connection. Production AFA manufactures contacts, Faston terminals and brass, copper and phosphor […]

Magnet block springs magnet block springs The magnet block springs, also called ferrite springs, are used to block the magnets inside the motor tube. Production AFA manufactures standard and custom magnet locking springs based on customer specifications. Available in austempered C67, pre-hardened C67 and stainless steel so as not to interfere with the magnetic fields […]

Calibrated washers calibrated washers Calibrated washers, also known as packing washers, are used as shims to reduce the transmission of vibrations and compensate the axial backlash. Production AFA manufactures precision and calibrated flat washers. Available in stainless steel, brass, iron and C67, they can go through various surface galvanising treatments (deburring, polishing, evaporating oiling) that […]

BEARING RETAINER bearing retainers Bearing retainers can be used to retain both the sintered ball (bushing) as well as the bearings, making them glide more easily. Bearing retainers can be used to retain both the sintered ball (bushing) as well as the bearings, making them glide more easily. Production AFA manufactures standard and, on request, […]

Compensation springs compensation springs Compensation springs are used to reduce the noise and vibration levels of electric motors, increasing strength, duration, and overall performance. Their function is to compensate for axial tolerances of the bearing, avoiding the slackening of the balls in the races as though they were shock absorbers. Production AFA manufactures standard and, […]
