WMH Herion supplies you with the complete range: from screw jacks and bevel gear units through couplings to custom solutions for extreme ambient conditions. Standard parts from stock, custom manufacturing to requirement. ## Challenges in energy technology Energy technology demands drive components that function reliably for decades under harsh operating conditions. Power plants, substations and distribution systems use actuators and lifting systems for valves, gate valves and fittings that have to remain operationally safe even if the main power supply fails. High media temperatures, humidity and chemical influences are everyday stresses here. Alongside operational safety, maintenance intervals and spare parts availability play a central role. Downtime in power generation involves considerable costs, which is why fast spare parts delivery and long product availability are indispensable criteria in the selection of components. WMH Herion supplies screw jacks and bevel gear units that are specially suited for use on valves and fittings in energy technology. The robust housings and high-quality gearing ensure a long service life even under difficult ambient conditions. Protection classes up to IP67 and special lubricants are available on request. The extensive stock programme from WMH Herion ensures that spare parts and replacement components are available at short notice. For critical applications, spare parts can also be held in reserve and sourced with documentation in order to respond quickly in the event of service. ## Precision drive technology for energy technology⁠: catalogue products For actuators and lifting systems in energy technology, WMH Herion offers screw jacks with lead screws and ball screws, bevel gear units for right-angle gear arrangements and robust couplings and drive shafts.

Talk to our technical sales team, we will work out the design with you. Contact us ## WMH Herion for energy technology What distinguishes WMH Herion as a partner? In energy technology, availability and durability are the top priority. WMH Herion supplies spur gears, gear units and couplings for use in power plants, turbine auxiliary systems and energy conversion systems, manufactured to high quality standards, with comprehensive test documentation and, where required, as a custom version for special operating conditions such as high temperature or increased corrosion requirements. As a manufacturer with its own production and engineering departments, WMH Herion offers direct technical advice, realistic delivery commitments and a reliable spare parts supply, even over long product life cycles. ISO 9001 certified, 100% inspection for safety-critical components, proven in power plant and energy technology applications. Which screw jacks are suitable for use on industrial valves? For industrial valves in energy technology, screw jacks with a lead screw are recommended, as these are self-locking and hold the position without a brake. WMH Herion supplies them in various lifting force classes with a bevel gear unit attachment for a lateral motor connection. Are the drive components suitable for outdoor use in power plants? Yes. WMH Herion supplies drive components in robust versions that are suitable for outdoor use. On request, variants with increased corrosion protection, special paint finishes or in stainless steel are available. 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 energy technology [![](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)
