Design and manufacture of equivalent components and spare parts
Engineering applied to the development of industrial components.
We develop mechanical components and equivalent spare parts for machinery and industrial equipment, working from drawings, documentation, digital models or the physical part itself.
We study the part's geometry, materials, function and operating conditions, and develop it through to manufacture.
Discontinued spare parts, unacceptable lead times and parts with no documentation.
A technically studied and documented part that can be manufactured again whenever needed.
From original to part
Original component, CAD model, manufactured component
The three stages of an equivalent spare part, shown on a generic part prepared by ARVEX to illustrate the process.
Capabilities
Engineering the part
- Development of mechanical components
- Design of custom parts
- Reverse engineering of spare parts
- Reconstruction of components without drawings
- Materials study
- Redesign and optimisation
- Definition of tolerances
- Manufacturing documentation
- Coordination of production processes
- Dimensional inspection where applicable

- Special semi-trailers
- Civil works machinery
- Industrial equipment
- Materials handling systems
Crane lifting accessories 14
- Single-beam spreader
- For lifting long loads with several attachment points.
- H-frame spreader
- For wide loads or loads with several lifting points.
- Adjustable spreader beam
- Allows the distance between attachment points to be varied.
- Load-levelling beam
- Keeps the load level during the lift.
- Snatch block (diverter pulley)
- Guides the rope and changes the direction of pull.
- C-hook
- For handling coils and cylindrical loads.
- Plate clamp
- Holds plates by friction.
- Pipe clamp
- For lifting and handling pipes.
- Drum clamp
- For handling drums.
- Pallet fork
- For palletised loads.
- Vacuum lifter
- For glass and smooth surfaces.
- Automatic hook
- Remote attachment and release of the load.
- Lifting lug
- Attachment point bolted to the part.
- Load turner / part rotator
- Allows the part to be rotated during handling.
Benefits
Availability
A technical alternative when the spare part does not exist or will not arrive in time.
Studied, not copied
We analyse the function and material of the part, not just its shape.
Repeatable
It is documented so it can be manufactured again whenever needed.
About equivalent spare parts. These are components developed by ARVEX to perform the function of the part they replace. They are not original parts from the equipment manufacturer, nor are they authorised by the manufacturer. Compatibility and inspections are studied and agreed on a case-by-case basis.
