Industry, energy, shipping. Kept in operation by RENK.
Free societies need a functioning infrastructure – electricity that flows, factories that produce, and goods that reach their destinations. RENK supplies the propulsion technology that keeps critical facilities operational. Gearboxes, couplings Couplings Couplings are used to connect two shafts for the transmission of torque, and to compensate for misalignment or movement. , slide bearings Slide bearings Slide bearings facilitate the low-friction movement of shafts by coming into direct contact with a sliding surface. and test systems Test systems Test systems evaluate the functionality, load capacity and wear of technical components under realistic conditions. , designed for heavy loads, extreme speeds and constant operation. These are underpinned by the same engineering skills and the same production depth that we apply to military platforms.
We power freedom.
Propulsion solutions for demanding industries.
Mills, extruders, hydropower plants, compressors, pumps, ventilators and generators operate around the clock. Industrial processes require propulsion technology that works reliably at full capacity and continuously. RENK provides the high-performance gearboxes and couplings Couplings Couplings are used to connect two shafts for the transmission of torque, and to compensate for misalignment or movement. that keep complex industrial processes operating around the world.
One facility, many uses.
The expansion of data centers and AI infrastructure is driving demand for electricity, while an increasing proportion of volatile power generation is overloading grids. RENK supplies key mechanical components for gas turbine generator sets. Our technology allows the same facility to be used for different tasks: peak loads and black starts, grid stabilization, district heating, waste heat utilization and storage operation. The operating mode changes with the market, without downtime or modifications.
Efficiency at sea.
Merchant ships depend on propulsion systems that combine reliability, efficiency and flexibility. RENK supplies gearboxes and propulsion solutions for working and offshore vessels, fishing vessels, excavators, gas tankers as well as for conventional, hybrid and electric drive concepts.
Propulsion technology for the energy transition.
Hydrogen, LNG, carbon capture, energy storage and industrial heat pumps require high-performance technology that functions under extreme conditions. RENK incorporates its decades of experience in sophisticated energy and process applications.
Precision and durability.
Reliable bearing technology is key wherever heavy machinery works under demanding conditions. RENK’s slide bearings Slide bearings Slide bearings facilitate the low-friction movement of shafts by coming into direct contact with a sliding surface. withstand heavy loads, reduce friction and ensure quiet and efficient operation in industrial and energy applications. They work in electrical machinery and turbines as well as compressors, pumps and gear systems.
Combining power, protecting facilities.
Couplings are key to reliable interplay between the components in the drivetrain. RENK’s solutions enable precise torque transmission Transmission The function of a vehicle transmission is to adjust the torque and speed, and to transfer engine power to the drive wheels. and shaft misalignment compensation. They absorb vibrations and protect machines from overloading. Our portfolio offers suitable connections for heavy loads, whether for heavy industrial applications, high-speed turbomachinery or naval gear systems.
Cross-industry performance testing.
Testing requirements vary as widely as the applications themselves – from rail vehicles and agricultural machinery, through aviation, all the way to high-performance drivetrains. RENK develops specific test systems Test systems Test systems evaluate the functionality, load capacity and wear of technical components under realistic conditions. that reflect real operating conditions and enable manufacturers to validate performance, reliability and durability before starting series production.
Consistent performance.
Reliable propulsion technology is just the beginning. RENK supports industrial customers throughout the lifecycle of their facilities and maintains availability, performance and efficiency long after commissioning. Our services combine in-depth product expertise with a global service network, from technical support and original spare parts, through inspections, servicing and maintenance, all the way to modernization and condition monitoring.
