Challenges in aerospace technology
Aerospace technology is one of the most demanding areas for drive components. Ground support equipment, maintenance platforms and test facilities must combine the highest reliability with precise positioning. Safety-relevant applications require complete documentation, traceability of the components and proven quality assurance in accordance with recognised standards.
In addition, weight and installation space are often limiting factors that call for compact drive solutions with high power density. Designers in aerospace technology need suppliers that bring technical expertise, flexibility for custom solutions and reliable supply chains.
WMH Herion supplies screw jacks and precision components for ground support equipment, maintenance platforms and test facilities in aerospace technology. The ISO 9001 certification and the option of delivery with material certificates support the quality requirements of this industry.
For special applications in which standard components are not sufficient, WMH Herion develops individual solutions. The close cooperation between WMH Herion engineers and the customer’s design team ensures that even complex requirements are implemented efficiently and reliably.

What distinguishes WMH Herion as a partner?
Aerospace technology and aerospace applications require drive components with minimal weight, the tightest tolerances and complete traceability. WMH Herion produces spur gears and couplings in high-quality materials and quality grades that meet these requirements, including comprehensive test documentation. Custom versions to customer specification can be realised in small quantities.
At WMH Herion, engineering, production and sales work together directly, which considerably shortens the time from the technical enquiry to the sample. For aerospace development with its long qualification cycles, a solid documentation basis is decisive, and we provide it. ISO 9001 certified, 100% inspection for safety-critical parts, proven in demanding high-precision applications.
Which drive components are suitable for maintenance platforms in aerospace technology?
For maintenance platforms and lifting systems in aerospace technology, self-locking screw jacks are recommended, as they hold the position safely even in the event of a power failure. WMH Herion supplies them in various lifting force and stroke variants, on request in a double version for redundancy.
Can drive components for aerospace technology be supplied with works certificates?
Yes. On request, WMH Herion supplies drive components with works certificates in accordance with DIN EN 10204 and complete traceability of the batches. The ISO 9001 certification ensures consistently documented quality processes.
Does WMH Herion also supply complete assemblies?
Yes. In addition to individual components, we offer assembled handling axes and complex multi-axis systems, fully assembled, tested and ready for use.
How quickly are standard items available?
Most items from the stock programme are available immediately and are delivered within a few working days. For custom-made solutions, we discuss the delivery time individually.
