Vertical Bearings

Type V – vertical flange mounted bearing

RENK vertical bearings in the V range are mainly used in low- to medium-speed machines with vertical designs, such as pumps, fans, turbines, or electrical machines. They are designed for thrust loads up to 1,000 kN with shaft diameters from 70 to >400 mm.

There are various options available:

VT bearings are available as radial and axial with combined thrust and guide bearings
VG bearings are supplied as guide bearings with journal parts
VB bearings with thrust and guide feature and upward thrust face
VX bearings, which are the special and custom designed versions

Features

Bearing design tailored especially to vertical applications
Spring and shock-absorbing characteristics can be adapted by adjusting the radial tilting pad
Noise and vibrations during operation are generally low
Efficient condition monitoring thanks to easy evaluation of the bearing temperature
Available as a package with numerous combination options
