Powered by Custom-Engineering Expertise: Did you know?
For more than a century, Cotta has been a driving force in the design of heavy-duty transmissions. Charles Cotta engineered his breakthrough constant-mesh shifting transmissions in 1906 and soon supplied the emerging automobile and truck industries with main transmissions. Cotta shifted to industrial products and the off-highway vehicle market in the 1940’s and then, two decades later, we added a line of high-speed gearboxes. Today, Cotta is the premier leading manufacturer of top-quality, precision-engineered gearboxes for many specialized mobile and stationary applications such as: vocational trucks, defense, off -highway, aerospace, heavy industry, well-drilling, mining, marine and much more.
Cotta designs in accordance with SAE, AGMA, ISO, and API standards to ensure product quality and to support our zero-defect policy. We have over 5,000 existing product designs available, plus our experienced engineers and craftsmen can take any new transmission application from concept to delivery at our production facility here in Beloit, WI. You don’t have to be a gearbox expert with Cotta as your source. Whether you need a standard, modified standard, or a completely new design, our engineering team will work with you to meet your specific requirements, effectively and efficiently. Cotta’s engineers and designers work with our customers to develop solutions and then deliver drawings in virtually any CAD format to drop into the customer’s own design.
