High-Speed Gearboxes for Aviation Component Test Equipment

Staley Co., located in Carmel, NY, is one of the leading manufacturers specializing in Aircraft Ground Support Test Equipment.  Staley has been using Cotta high-speed gearboxes for some of their most difficult and demanding applications for aviation component test equipment.  The Cotta gearboxes have been successfully integrated in test stands ranging from 25 HP to 300 HP, and 20,000 to 60,000 RPM.

Kevin Loffredo, Senior Engineer and Partner at Staley Co, stated “Cotta ranks up there as one of the best.  We have worked closely with their engineering team time and time again, particularly on unique challenges for mounting a particular aircraft component on test.  We have found the team at Cotta to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, and in a word, ‘speaking our language.”  Kevin further stated, “Beyond the engineering and initial purchase, after sales support and product reliability have been tremendous.  Over 30 plus years, we have deployed dozens and dozens of Cotta gearboxes without issue.  In several cases, with the help of Cotta engineers, we have even been able to retrofit 25 to 30 year old boxes with different gear sets for a different speed range application. In short, when it comes time to look for a high-speed gearbox, we know who to call.”
