With Wieland HPC and Wieland AFC, we are setting new industry standards: both systems have been specially developed to meet the highest requirements for wear and friction protection while maximising the service life and efficiency of machine elements.

Thanks to their PFAS-free formulations, they already meet future EU requirements, thus contributing to sustainable production. Both technologies reduce friction and wear, enable energy savings and impress with high pressure and temperature resistance as well as easy application without the need for design adjustments.

Materialer

Wieland AFC – Anti-friction coating for reliable lubrication

Wieland AFC is an innovative solid-containing bonded coating that has been specially developed to reliably lubricate highly stressed machine elements and to minimise maintenance. Due to its excellent emergency running properties and optimised coefficient of friction under conditions of insufficient lubrication, it is an ideal solution for demanding applications where grease lubrication and initial greasing are required.

AFC is based on a robust polyamide-imide matrix enriched with the solid lubricants MoS₂ and graphite. This special combination not only promotes the running-in process, but also ensures, in conjunction with initial lubrication, a low-maintenance or even maintenance-free operation of the bearing system. Due to its excellent adhesion to metallic surfaces, the coating also provides effective corrosion protection and is highly resistant to oils, greases and solvents.

Wieland AFC is characterised by outstanding pressure and temperature resistance. The coating remains permanently stable over a wide temperature range from -40 °C to +250 °C and can even withstand temperatures of up to +400 °C for short periods. With a layer thickness of just 5–20 µm, it offers excellent performance without the need to modify the original design. This ensures reliable performance even under extreme conditions.

Technical highlights:

Permanent temperature resistance:
-40 °C to +250 °C (up to +400 °C for short periods)
High surface pressure: up to 400 MPa
Excellent wear protection due to permanent metallic separation of the sliding partners
PFAS-free and therefore future-proof for use in the EU

Comparison with conventional wear layers:

Compared to conventional coatings, Wieland AFC offers significantly lower friction coefficients, more even lubricant distribution and exceptional resistance to mechanical loads. The metallic separation of the sliding partners also helps to further minimise wear and system friction. Depending on the application, this can lead to significant energy savings.

With Wieland AFC, you are choosing a future-oriented coating technology that reduces maintenance costs, extends the service life of your systems and, at the same time, meets the requirements of modern industrial applications.
