Gearbox Testing – Drill Rig

Cotta’s gearbox testing is designed to rigorously evaluate your drill rig gearboxes, including critical components like mast head gearboxes. With over a century of gearbox manufacturing experience, Cotta has developed precision-engineered and controlled testing solutions for the drilling industry so your equipment performs at its best.

Why Gearbox Testing for Drill Rigs Matters

Drill rigs operate in some of the toughest conditions, with gearboxes under extreme load, high RPM, and continuous operation. This is especially true for mast head gearboxes, which play a crucial role in drilling. Not regularly performing precise measurements and assessments of these gearboxes can lead to costly downtime, repairs, or equipment replacement.

With Cotta’s full drill rig gearbox testing, including specialized mast head gearbox testing, you can prevent these failures and have your equipment ready for anything.
