Renogear bearings

What Renogear bearings does

Renogear Bearings (legal name Renogear, S.L.) is a Spanish manufacturer of medium and large-size slewing bearings and slewing rings, established in 2019 as a specialized subsidiary within the Xubi Group conglomerate (mechanical power transmission). The company operates from an 18,000 m2 manufacturing facility in Azkoitia, Gipuzkoa (País Vasco/Euskadi), producing six core bearing families — 4-point contact ball, 8-point contact ball, double row ball, triple row roller, combined roller-ball, and crossed roller bearings — with a standard maximum diameter of 4,500 mm and special designs up to 10 meters. The product portfolio is complemented by three engineering services: reengineering and design of bearings, technological support and maintenance, and new product development. Notable reference projects include the main bearing for the Greenwich Village Pedestrian Swing Bridge in London and azimuth/elevation/tilting bearings for the Simons Observatory in the Atacama Desert.

The business model is B2B enterprise sales of custom-engineered bearings, with no publicly disclosed pricing — quotations are issued per project based on customer specifications. Revenue is generated primarily through one-off manufacturing contracts for mission-critical applications in wind energy, construction machinery, mining, steel production, telecommunications, and civil engineering, with a secondary stream of professional services for reengineering, on-site support, and maintenance. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales through an international network of sales offices and visibility at major industry trade shows (BAUMA, Hannover Messe, MINEXPO, WIND ENERGY, WIND EUROPE, SMM, EUROPORT).

Core technology centers on in-house engineering capabilities including a dynamic test bench for product validation, FEA/CAE-driven design automation, and co-developed condition monitoring systems (Mainwind project) for predictive maintenance of wind turbines. R&D activity is partially funded through the Basque Government's HAZITEK program, with two active projects — RENOTEST (ZL-2023/00344) and 2RR (ZL-2023/00609) — focused on flexible sensorization and monitoring systems for bearings, co-funded by the EU FEDER 2021-2027 program. The company is privately held, with no external investors disclosed, and operates with approximately 12 employees.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• 4 Point Contact Ball Bearings Single row radial angular contact ball bearings with four points of contact, raceways designed to support axial loads in both directions. Suitable for telecommunications and wind industry applications requiring flexibility, load capacity, and turning speeds.
• 8 Point Contact Ball Bearings Double row radial angular contact ball bearings with eight points of contact, designed to support high axial and radial loads in both directions at elevated speeds. Specialized for construction machinery and wind turbine applications.
• Double Row Ball Bearings Ball bearings designed to meet higher demands on load capacity, guaranteeing precision and high performance under very demanding working conditions. Used in wind industry and civil engineering applications.
• Triple Row Roller Bearings Exclusive high-precision design developed for very specific and demanding applications, featuring high dimensional and rotational precision with a very solid structure in large axial and radial dimensions. Used in wind industry and steel industry applications.
• Combined Roller-Ball Bearings Custom-developed high-precision bearings designed to solve specific demands for civil engineering and mining applications, offering better combined roller-ball performance and efficiency than standard designs.
• Crossed Roller Bearings High-precision bearings with cylindrical rollers arranged orthogonally to support loads in all directions (radial, axial, and moment), featuring high rigidity, high rotational precision, and a compact structure. For telecommunications and construction machinery applications.
• Reengineering and Design of Bearings Custom-made bearing design service for cases where no drawings or supplier references are available, fitting designs to measurements from precision coordinate measuring machines to assure interference-free bearing assembly on site.
• Technological Support and Maintenance On-site engineering support for bearing replacement or mechanical system improvement when samples cannot be removed, including defining appropriate maintenance plans.
• New Product Development Analysis of different bearing conceptions for different applications, identifying and defining the most important parameters together with clients to meet the most demanding specifications.
