Since Labeco’s inception in 1943, we have been a leader
in designing and developing testing equipment for the aviation
industry. Our first product was the 17.9 Engine, which is still
used world-wide to rate spark plug heat ranges. Today at Renk-Labeco,
we work with our partners from Germany and across the United
States to not only create the classics, such as the 17.9 Engine,
but also exciting new testing equipment like the Main Transmission
Slow Roll Test Stand. This test stand was contracted by the
Boeing Company, and was developed for the testing

of the AH-64D Apache Longbow Block III drive train gearboxes.
This product is just an example of the many custom projects
that Renk-Labeco has been a part of.
“RENK
Test Systems…getting airborne with test rigs.”
For
the helicopter industry RENK develops and builds turn-key
test systems for main transmissions, intermediate and tail
rotor gearboxes, and for accessory gearboxes.
The extreme speed and torque profiles of these
types of gearboxes, along with the high precision required
by the test rig render these tasks particularly challenging.
