E-Type bearings

Developed for electrical machines, as well as turbines, pumps, turbo compressors, fans, dynamometers, and much more, the characteristics and quality offered by RENK E-Type bearings are unique and have been designed to the DIN standard since the mid-1970s, and subsequently to the ISO standard.

Horizontal bearings

The typical range of use for horizontal slide bearings extends from industrial applications, to energy production, to maritime applications, where they serve as pressure, supporting, or generator bearings. We can also supply marine bearings which are approved by a classification society.

Vertical Bearings

Vertical bearings meet the highest requirements in terms of product quality, operating safety, durability, and effective condition monitoring for applications such as pumps, fans, turbines, or low, medium and high speed electrical machines

Couplings

The wide range of couplings gives you a high degree of freedom for designing the shaft connection. We offer the ideal coupling for even the most complex application scenarios with a proven track record in tens of thousands of drive systems thanks to its adaptable construction and high-quality design.

Design it

It all begins with your electrical rotating machine design. Working in close partnership with our customers, using both our expertise, knowledge and our bearing calculation programs which are also available online to our partnered OEM’s, we provide the most technically suitable and cost efficient bearing selection to meet and exceed their exact design requirements.

Build it

Manufacturing and distributing slide bearings and couplings for every industrial application from the plant in Hanover. The manufacturing facility has been the market leader in the area of slide bearings for many years and offers both standard series as well as custom fabrications. In the couplings area, the plant develops and produces flexible and special-purpose couplings.

Supply it

With dedicated packing and transport, this ensures the product is packaged correctly for road, sea and air freight, and ship directly to your requested location globally. Many products can be shipped in reduced lead times due to our stocking inventory. All products are supplied with the required documentation, including quality and test certificates, C of C’s, ATEX certificates, and required export documentation.
