Why is this interesting to operators?

By selecting VBR Turbine Partners as an OEM approved distributor, Arkwin added a channel to the market. OEM depots, overhaul facilities, operators and service providers now have an extra option to ensure access to Arkwin products. Besides the supply of new Arkwin products from stock and a Rotable Exchange program, we are working to offer customers OEM approved in-house repair and overhaul options soon too. We expect to be able to repair your actuator as of end 2024.

Industrial Gas Turbine Actuator Exchange Program

Arkwin’s industrial gas turbine engine actuator exchange program developed exclusively for the LM2500 and LM6000 engines provides operators the reliability of OEM new products at a competitive price. The premise of the program is simple – ship us your removed actuator and if it qualifies for a major overhaul, VBR Turbine Partners will exchange it for a factory new OEM production actuator from stock.
