V type – 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
Vertical bearings with highest flexibility and optimized for efficient operation.
With decades of experience and a large installed base of proven vertical bearings, we can not only tailor bearings to your operational needs, but also manufacture them to the highest standards. Our engineers and manufacturing experts take pride in the quality of their bearings and the features they incorporate.
With our broad technology and basic product portfolio, our experts can customize our bearings according to the needs of the application. As an example: To accommodate higher axial loads, the RD-thrust pads can be designed to inject high pressure oil from a hydrostatic jacking system.

Depending on the respective operating conditions, the vertical bearings are operated with natural cooling, external lubrication, or integrated water coolers. Using a fan expands the range in which natural cooling can be used to include higher speeds. If there is an external lubricant system, the housing is equipped with an overflow chamber that always contains enough lubricant for short-term emergency operation until the machine is shut down.
Reducing noise and vibration also means reducing friction and thus energy loss and wear. This is where RENK bearings excel, thanks to decades of experience in engineering and manufacturing combined with state-of-the-art production facilities and quality control.
With the expertise from RENK and the monitoring of the bearing temperature, the condition of the bearing can be easily analyzed.
