Cotta Brings High-speed Testing of Aircraft Components Closer to Reality


(BELOIT, WI) Cotta has developed numerous high-speed transmissions for the performance testing of aircraft generators, CSDs and pumps, while keeping components in the same spatial relationship as in actual applications. Cotta's SN2216 is one such design featuring a power rating of 900 horsepower, compact parallel shaft design, multistage helical gearing, output speed of 38,300 rpm, and optional high-speed disconnect clutches to simulate component failure.

Cotta designs and manufactures a full line of high-speed transmissions used extensively in the research, design and production testing of commercial and military aircraft components such as generators, constant-speed drives and pumps. The company also manufactures industrial and specialty transmissions, available as both speed increasers and decreasers, for use in a wide range of non-aviation applications, including turbine reduction gears, specialty vehicles, industrial equipment, and process machinery. Transmission models are available in a wide range of output speeds (up to 80,000 RPM). Modified-standard and custom models are also available to match specific requirements.
