As an ISO 9001 certified systems supplier, WMH Herion supplies you with the complete range: from screw jacks through precision gears and drive elements to fully documented custom solutions. Standard parts from stock, custom manufacturing to specification. ## Challenges in Defence & Space Applications in Defence & Space are subject to the strictest quality and reliability requirements of all. Components have to function reliably under extreme temperatures, vibrations and pressure conditions, often without the possibility of maintenance or replacement during operation. Documentation and traceability are just as important here as the technical properties themselves. In addition to pure performance, weight, installation space and material selection play a decisive role. Design engineers in this field depend on suppliers who bring both technical expertise and proven quality assurance. WMH Herion is ISO 9001 certified and supplies drive components that meet the high requirements of defence and aerospace applications. Screw jacks, precision gears and specially machined drive elements are supplied on request with complete documentation and material certificates. The capability for custom manufacturing makes it possible to adapt components exactly to specific load profiles, installation dimensions and material requirements. WMH Herion works closely with design engineers in order to solve even demanding applications in the technically optimal way. ## Precision drive technology for Defence & Space⁠: catalogue products From the WMH Herion standard range, screw jacks with high load capacity, precision spur and bevel gears and couplings for low-backlash drive trains are particularly suitable for Defence & Space. All standard items can be supplied with extended test certificates and material certificates.

Applications in defence and aerospace demand drive components with complete traceability, strict quality assurance and the capability for custom manufacturing even in small quantities. WMH Herion produces spur gears, couplings and gear units with comprehensive test documentation, and realises special versions to customer specification, including in specific materials and surface treatments. The direct cooperation of design, manufacturing and sales at WMH Herion enables short response times for technical queries and an unbroken documentation chain. For procurement processes in safety-critical areas, this is a decisive advantage. ISO 9001 certified, 100% inspection of critical parts, experience in highly sensitive technical fields of application. Can drive components for defence applications be supplied with material certificates? Yes. On request, WMH Herion supplies components with an inspection certificate 3.1 in accordance with DIN EN 10204, material certificates and extended test reports. The ISO 9001 certification ensures consistently traceable quality processes. Which screw jacks are suitable for use in defence systems? For defence applications, screw jacks with a lead screw or ball screw are recommended, designed for high load capacity in a compact installation space. WMH Herion offers these in various versions and can realise special variants with adapted lubricant and sealing concepts. 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. ## Products for Defence & Space [![](https://wmh-herion.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/1-2-313x214.avif) ### Rack technology](https://wmh-herion.de/en/drive-technology) [![](https://wmh-herion.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2-2-320x203.avif) ### Drive elements](https://wmh-herion.de/en/drive-technology) [![](https://wmh-herion.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/3-2-258x214.avif) ### Gears](https://wmh-herion.de/en/drive-technology) [![](https://wmh-herion.de/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/4-2-320x208.avif) ### Assemblies and handling tasks](https://wmh-herion.de/en/drive-technology) ## Your contact with us ### Hotline Enquiries [+49 8442 9699-245](tel:+4984429699245) Mon – Thu 7:00 – 17:00 Fri 7:00 – 13:00 [anfrage@wmh-herion.de (opens your e-mail application)](mailto:anfrage@wmh-herion.de) ### Hotline Orders [+49 8442 9699-250](tel:+4984429699250) Mon – Thu 7:00 – 17:00 Fri 7:00 – 13:00 [bestellung@wmh-herion.de (opens your e-mail application)](mailto:bestellung@wmh-herion.de)
