Slide bearings are one of the most crucial components of any machinery and for a precision part such as a RENK slide bearing, it is essential to use only original parts. Bearings can be overhauled only once and should always be undertaken by the RENK Hannover factory, as tolerances are small and need to be extremely accu­rate. In most cases, however, only a new bearing or parts will lead to a long-term solution. Failing to use expertly revised or new RENK parts will have a negative effect on the lifetime, efficiency and reliability of a drive train. As AZ Hollink points out: similar is not the same!
