ARKWIN PEDIGREE

We are the technical expert in all things hydraulic for aerospace and defense. Our expertise allows us to satisfy design and performance specifications that others simply cannot. We design, test, manufacture, and support precision hydraulic and fuel system components for civil and military fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, spacecraft, and turbine engines. Our pedigree goes back nearly 70 years. We have been on board most major civil and military airframes since the 1950s. Our Rapid Custom Product Development (RCPD) team works hand in hand with our customers as an extension of their design team. Through our nimble process-oriented culture, broad in-house capabilities, and operational discipline, we target 100% on-time delivery each and every day.

PRECISE CRAFTSMANSHIP. EXACTING QUALITY.

We are experts in precision Aluminum, Steel, and Titanium metal working, spool and sleeve manufacturing, testing, and assembly of highly engineered aerospace components. All Arkwin products are American-made in our vertically integrated AS9100 certified factories in Westbury, New York. Careful planning and execution of continuous improvement and lean techniques by Arkwin’s skilled craftsmen help to ensure the quality of our products. We continue to add new and more advanced manufacturing capabilities as well as capacities to support our customers’ growing demands. See below for more information on specific capabilities.

PRECISION METAL CUTTING & MACHINING

Our machinery includes some of the most advanced Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) multiple-operation machine tools in the world. Our equipment is linked to our Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) network to permit exact integration and perfect quality between design and manufacturing. In fact, we can meet spool and sleeve tolerances as precise as 30 millionths of an inch.

ASSEMBLY

All assembly is done by our highly skilled and experienced craftsmen. Because we house assembly and testing in the same building, we can complete projects in hours, not weeks.

PAINTING

We spray a variety of coatings, including mil-spec aviation standard coatings and flame-resistant coatings. As you would expect, we do 95% of it in-house.

IN-HOUSE TOOLING

We design and fabricate all our tooling in-house. Our expert staff of toolmakers gives us an advantage by allowing us to prioritize quick turn solutions as well as control timing, quality, and cost.

Fluid Sampling Testing

We have the ability to conduct in-house contamination sampling testing using many types of fluid, including the following:
• Petrol-based fluids
• Phosphate ester fluids
• Turbine Oil
• Calibration Fluid
• Jet Fuel
• Silicon fluid
• High-Temperature air

NON-DESTRUCTIVE IN-HOUSE TESTING

We conduct non-destructive testing using magnetic particle inspection and fluorescent penetrant inspection.
