About Arrow Engineering
Established in 1981 - Delivering Precision Engineering & Bearing Solutions Across the UK
Prevent. Improve. Respond.
More Than Components.Engineering Solutions.
At Arrow Engineering, we don't just supply components — we help customers solve the engineering problems behind costly machinery downtime.
Since 1981, we've been there when manufacturers have been stuck, combining stocked bearings and power transmission products with in-house machining, gear cutting, fabrication and repair.
Our own innovative solutions — including Aroflex Flexible Couplings, Food Safe Grip Lock Bearings, Torque Limiters and Fast Fix Shaft Repair Sleeves — are designed to address common maintenance challenges and improve equipment reliability.
And when standard components aren't enough, we can modify, rework, manufacture or combine products to create practical solutions tailored to your machinery.
From preventing recurring failures to helping with urgent breakdowns, we'll make every reasonable effort to support you, with realistic commitments based on available resources.
Don't just replace the problem. Ask Arrow about improving the solution.

Built on solving difficult problems
Since 1981, Arrow Engineering has built its reputation by helping manufacturers overcome breakdowns, recurring component failures and difficult engineering challenges — often when conventional suppliers couldn't provide a timely solution.
We've been there when customers have been stuck, tackling urgent repairs, manufacturing replacement components and finding practical ways to get machinery running again.
But our real strength goes beyond emergency support.
We combine stocked engineering products, our own innovative component solutions and in-house manufacturing capabilities to help customers prevent problems, improve equipment and reduce costly downtime.
Improve Reliability Before Things Go Wrong
Why keep replacing the same components when a better solution may be available? Our specialist product range includes:
Aroflex Flexible Couplings
Designed to accommodate appropriate shaft misalignment and help reduce vibration and stress on connected machinery.
Food Safe Grip Lock Bearings
Bearing solutions designed for suitable food-production applications, with secure shaft locking to help minimise unwanted shaft movement and associated wear.
Torque Limiters
Acting as a mechanical fuse, helping protect machinery, gearboxes and drive components against damaging overloads.
Fast Fix Shaft Repair Sleeves
Practical solutions for restoring suitable worn shaft surfaces, potentially avoiding costly shaft replacement and lengthy dismantling.
Opportunities for fewer repeat failures, longer component life, easier maintenance and reduced production disruption.
Proven Performance in Industry Since 1981
Don't Just Replace It. Make It Better.
What makes Arrow different is our ability to combine standard components and specialist products with our own engineering facilities.
With in-house machining, gear cutting, welding and fabrication, we can:
- Manufacture obsolete or difficult-to-source replacement components.
- Rework worn parts where repair is practical.
- Modify standard products to suit existing machinery.
- Combine bearings, shafts, couplings, pulleys and other components into finished assemblies.
- Investigate alternative designs and improved solutions for recurring failures.
More practical options, less dependence on overseas suppliers, components adapted to your machinery and the potential to solve the underlying problem rather than repeatedly replacing failed parts.
Here When You Need Engineering Help
Some of our strongest customer relationships have developed when machinery has broken down and customers have needed someone willing to tackle a difficult problem.
We've supported urgent repairs, manufactured replacement components and helped customers find solutions when production was at risk.
Our extended weekday engineering hours and in-house manufacturing capabilities allow us to respond flexibly to urgent requirements.
Where engineers, materials and facilities are available, we'll also make every reasonable effort to provide assistance outside normal working hours, including weekends.
We'll assess your problem, explore the available options and give you an honest, realistic commitment on what we can achieve.
A knowledgeable engineering partner who understands the urgency, looks for practical alternatives and works with you to get production moving again.
