AFM Website Help

Product Families
Our Website is structured by product families. Each of our product families is included as a tab at the top of each page. Simply click a product family tab to begin browsing that product family.

Each product family page will begin with an overview of the product family with links to product search tools, standard size tables, and technical reference literature.

Configure an Application
AFM's primary business is working with manufacturers to provide engineered solutions. Although we have made our standard products catalog and technical library available at our Website, we encourage all users to begin by configuring an application online. Our online configuration wizard will ask important questions that will construct the boundary conditions for a particular application. This will allow our technical specialists to immediately analyze your needs and get to the solution faster - saving you time! Configure an application online now.

Shopping Cart
Our Shopping Cart is an important tool that allows you to submit requests to AFM. We do not offer online purchase of goods. However, any products found in our online catalog can be placed in the Shopping Cart to be submitted as a no-obligation Request for Quotation (RFQ). Other requests such as custom designs and application configurations can also be added to the Shopping Cart and submitted to AFM for review and follow-up. The Shopping Cart can be viewed at any time by clicking the "Shopping Cart" tab at the top of any page.

Quick Tools
At the upper-right corner of our Website pages is the area labelled "Quick Tools". These are links to commonly-used search techniques, size tables, and configuration wizards. The Quick Tool links will vary depending on which product family you are currently browsing ... thus the most relavent Quick Tool links will be displayed at any given time. So, if you're not sure your seeing everything, always check the Quick Tools!

Link Path
In the blue bar just below the product family tabs, you will see your current link path. This path will aid you in navigating our Website by showing you the chain of links that you have selected to get to the page you are viewing at any given time. Each item in the chain is a link allowing you to quickly back-track to look at different navigation options. In some cases, a Related Topics link is available. Mouse-over this link to see other documents that are related to the document you are currently viewing.
