High Speed Gearbox Solutions for University R&D Facilities

Cotta has an extensive background in working with research facilities at universities worldwide, supplying high speed gearboxes for test stand applications.  Some of those facilities are involved with research and product development for OEM’s in the aerospace propulsion and power industries.

For over 50 years, Cotta has designed and manufactured a diverse line of high speed gearboxes that are used by some of the largest OEM companies in the world.  The gearboxes are developed for numerous R&D and production test stand applications for automotive, aerospace and industrial components. Cotta’s high speed gearboxes are also applicable for speed management in non-aviation, industrial applications – from turbine reduction gears to centrifugal driers, to numerous other instances where a highly specialized, powerful and reliable solution is needed.

On a recent project for a university, Cotta’s engineering team designed and manufactured a high-speed gearbox for a test stand.  See specifications below:
