About AFS Welcome to the Advanced Fluid Systems site. Much of this money has been put to use providing new facilities, including a completely new Clean Room dedicated to feedthrough assembly. In addition, money has been invested in state of the art testing and analysis equipment along with improved customers services through our web site, the ability to immediately download a wide range of drawings for feedthroughs. Drawings are regularly emailed to customers so that they can be directly incorporated in developing designs. After considerable development AFS started marketing its seals in 1993.
Larger units are also available.
It is a positive, low friction seal that does not rely on controlled leakage or rubbing, as do conventional seals. It has already demonstrated its advantages in a wide range of applications from food manufacture to aggregate handling, it can be utilized wherever gases or non-liquids need to be kept in or out of processes. AFS's other strength is its ability to design and manufacture a damper that can be dynamically controlled using the ER fluid effect. These dampers have a wide range of applications, e.g. seats in off-road vehicles, car suspension systems, mountain bike shocks and many industrial requirements which have been limited by the performance constraints of conventional dampers. AFS has developed a damping system that can be controlled electronically using a wide variety of sensors to give damping characteristics to suit a range of different applications.
