AFC Technology
Our Adaptive Force Compensation (AFC) technology is an advanced, self-adjusting wheel balancing solution that optimizes performance in real time. Unlike traditional static metal weights and other non-traditional balancing methods, AFC continuously adapts to road conditions and tire wear, ensuring consistent and precise balance.
Benefits of AFC
Extended Tire Life
Reduces uneven wear, increasing the longevity of tires.
Fuel Efficiency
Lowers rolling resistance, leading to fuel savings.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
Minimizes the need for frequent rebalancing and tire replacement.
Improved Ride Quality and Safety
Enhances vehicle stability and driver comfort.
Eco-Friendly
Reduces tire waste, CO₂, and harmful diffuse emissions.
How AFC Works
AFC technology utilizes uniquely formulated gels with advanced visco-elastic properties that dynamically shift within a hollow wheel adapter, counteracting all types of imbalances as they arise. This real-time adjustment ensures perfectly balanced wheels and smooth operation, eliminating the need to rebalance. 100% worry-free wheel operation!
01
Attach the Gel-filled AFC Balancer to the wheel using existing lugs.
02
The Gel moves inside the AFC Balancer® to automatically maintain perfect balance.
03
Optimized for all trucks and buses.
How AFC Differs from Other Methods
Our solution is fundamentally different from anything on the market. Rather than relying on centrifugal forces like all other non-static weight balancing media, our solution actively responds to the various complex forces acting on the wheel. The gel's ability to migrate and adapt asymmetrically ensures minimal vibrations and optimal balancing. Other products bounce around and, at best, will only reduce the mass imbalance or "heavy spot," similar to traditional static metal weights. However, when the vehicle is stopped, the media (oil+bearings, sand, powders, etc.) fall to the bottom. It must then be redistributed and can, in any case, only relocate to the opposite of the heavy spot, which is only part of the problem.
Only our patented technology is validated by OEMs in various applications, including automotive and train wheels, washing machines, helicopter rotors, cardan driveshafts, and more. Adaptive Force Compensation is proven to substantially reduce vibrations, ensuring precise and consistent balancing, resulting in substantially longer tire life of up to 60%.
