For amd, -w does it:

       -w interval
              Specify  an  interval, in seconds, between attempts
              to dismount filesystems that  have  exceeded  their
              cached times.  The default is 2 minutes.

and for autofs, automount takes:

  -t, --timeout
              Set the minimum timeout, in seconds, until directo-
              ries are unmounted.   The  default  is  5  minutes.
              Setting  the timeout to zero disables unmounts com-
              pletely.
