Innovative Power Transmission RENK – Ideas. Solutions. Perspectives.

2 3 OUR MOTTO: Innovative state-of-the-art technology – Added value for our customer. Now more than ever, international markets respond quicker and more sensibly to changes in society, economics and politics. Against this backdrop, a globally active company such as RENK sees it as their special challenge to be able to stay on top of the latest developments and offer innovative technology and products that cater to all customer requirements. For us, tomorrow's requirements are today's challenge. Only this way can we cultivate solutions in stride with ongoing developments, optimally cater to...

4 5 FORGING AHEAD IN A TEAM. At the same time, we also decisively advocate and honor teamwork. Because we know: RENK can only maintain and expand its leading position within the global market if we ideally bundle the skills of our staff and put them to appropriate use. In other words: Only a team provides the ideal setting to generate individual performance in such a competitive leading-edge technology. SUPPORTING TALENT. A further significant success factor for RENK is the education and training of junior staff members in technical as well as commercial areas. Onsite vocational training...

6 7 RENK STANDS FOR QUALITY. Gear wheels on a charging rack ready for case hardening. The temperature is 850 °C. No compromises when it comes to quality – this principle applies to every single area of our company: From the initial planning meetings to product development, production, control, assembly and commissioning up to training and after-sales services. The RENK quality philosophy is the underlying theme that determines each and every one of our activities throughout all departments of our company. > THE VERY LATEST IN MACHINERY AND PERMANENT CONTROL. Our production facilities use...

8 9 LOW-NOISE GEAR UNITS: AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY FOR THE NAVY. RENK looks back on decades of experience in constructing low-noise gear units. Back in the 1950's the Navy set the very first standards in this respect in terms of strategic deliberations. Today, silent marine gear units are state of the art in cruise ships as well as ferries and ensure a considerable gain when it comes to comfort. RENK marine gear units with double helical gears in combination with a precision-machined and load-corrected tooth shape guarantee extremely low-noise meshing action under load and partial load. In...

10 11 COMFORT AND EFFICIENCY. RENK propulsion technology runs quietly, smoothly and powerfully; and is at the same time, extremely efficient. Our propulsion systems secure variable ship operations with several diesel and electrical engines as well as gas turbines. In this manner, drive motors can at all times be operated within the most fuel-efficient range at different speeds of the ship. Today's luxury cruise ships are nothing less than floating five-star hotels and yet, they should be run as efficiently as possible. The propulsion technology must outperform the extraordinary in order to...

12 13 SUCESS FACTOR NUMBER ONE: RENK FOR CONTAINER FEEDER VESSELS. Our latest gear unit series RSV/RSH fulfills the very highest requirements: It encompasses 17 gearbox sizes for a power range from 1,500 to 22,000 kW, and is thanks to its compact volume and low weight particularly efficient and just as reliable as its proven predecessor the HSU/HSN series. SUCESS FACTOR NUMBER TWO: RENK FOR LNG TANKERS. The largest and most modern LNG tankers in the world run with gear units, shiftable clutch types and slide bearings by RENK. Our propulsion technology guarantees the utmost reliability and...

14 15 MORE ENERGY WITH LESS INPUT. Thanks to its excellent efficiency, sensational power output of up to 140 MW and considerably reduced power losses, RENK gear units for power stations have come to be known as the standard reference for economic power generation through gas turbines, steam turbines, wind and water energy. For our customers this means: profit maximization. For the environment: the efficient treatment of valuable resources. ETAX® TECHNOLOGY: HALVES POWER LOSS. The aim to reduce power losses in power supply facilities as far as possible were the criteria underlying the newly...

16 17 IN LEAGUE WITH THE WIND. In the area of wind-power gear units, the Aerogear technology by RENK consequently further develops existing gear unit solutions. It stands out with its low-noise emission, high efficiency and improved operating safety. The currently largest and first serial-produced offshore wind power gear unit of the 5 MW class, the gear unit for the MULTIBRID M5000 wind power station, generates enough power for 4,500 households. As an alternative to fossil fuels, wind and water power are becoming more and more important as a power source. RENK's gear units known for their...

18 19 REFERENCES THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. The automatic load-shifting transmissions by RENK are suitable for all modern diesel engines – for front as well as rear-mounted installations. The transmissions are electronically controlled and monitored.The land forces of many nations have come to rely on RENK. For instance in the case of the APCs PIZARRO and ULAN, MARDER and PUMA; the LEOPARD 2 and LECLERC main battle tanks, the tank destroyer KANONE, the ROLAND anti aircraft tank, the KEILER mine clearing tank, the ARV BÜFFEL and the PzH 2000. Tracked armored vehicles require an especially...

20 21 THE HIGH-SPEED SPECIALISTS. RAFLEX® flexible disk and turbo membrane couplings are optimally suited for applications in high-speed machines, such as turbines and compressors. They are torsionally stiff, require no lubrication and are maintenance-free. They are also capable of compensating for axial and angular shaft misalignment. RENK couplings are used in all sectors of industry. It was as early as in the late 1930s that the company took out a patent for the manufacturing process for curved-tooth couplings. > Photo right: Newly set-up assembly area for small and medium-sized serial...
