The aviation industry is under extreme pressure to innovate around the world. Global, disruptive processes such as scarce resources and climate change are just two drivers which are currently having an enormous impact on the aviation industry.

RENK supports prestigious OEMs as well as suppliers of components by providing high-quality test systems that are used in the development, approval, and quality assurance of their products. RENK dynamometers are used, among other things, for the development of gear units in turbofan engines in the multi-megawatt range. The test pieces being inspected there are subjected to extreme loads comparable to those that occur during their subsequent use.

RENK’s test rigs for main rotor gearboxes are designed for helicopters with coaxial and standard rotor systems. In addition to investigations into the reliability of gearboxes, efficiency, weight, noise emissions, and long maintenance intervals are further focal points of current developments in RENK test systems.
