Challenges in medical technology
Medical technology places the highest demands on the reliability, precision and safety of drive components. Operating tables, patient beds, diagnostic devices and rehabilitation systems require quiet, low-backlash and safety-critical drive systems that are ready for use immediately even after long idle periods. Conformity with the MDR and other regulatory requirements increases the documentation effort.
At the same time, the drives must be compact, lightweight and hygienically designed. Cleaning agents and disinfectants place a load on surfaces and lubricant seals, which is why suitable materials and sealing concepts are indispensable.
WMH Herion supplies screw jacks for operating tables, patient couches and diagnostic devices that convince with their self-locking design and precise lifting movement. The systems hold every position safely, even under changing loads, and are of quiet design, which increases patient comfort.
For special applications in medical technology, WMH Herion develops individual solutions that meet all geometric, material-related and documentation requirements. ISO 9001 certification ensures fully documented quality processes.

What distinguishes WMH Herion as a partner?
Medical technology applications place extreme demands on precision, reliability and documentation, whether in surgical robots, imaging systems or rehabilitation devices. WMH Herion produces spur gears and couplings in the tightest tolerance classes with complete inspection documentation. Materials for cleanroom or sterilisation requirements can be realised on request.
The direct link between design engineering and sales at WMH Herion enables fast answers to complex technical requirements, without being passed on. This is particularly important in medical technology, where qualification processes are demanding and documentation requirements are high. ISO 9001 certified, 100% inspection for safety-relevant parts, experience in high-precision and safety-critical applications.
Which drive components are suitable for operating tables and patient couches?
Self-locking screw jacks are suitable for operating tables and patient couches, as they hold every lifting position securely even when the drive is switched off. WMH Herion supplies these in various lifting force classes and mounting versions, on request with complete quality documentation.
Can drive components for medical technology be supplied with complete traceability?
Yes. On request, WMH Herion supplies drive components with works certificates, material certificates and batch documentation. The ISO 9001 certification ensures that all quality processes are documented seamlessly and remain traceable.
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.
