800-341-4334 Email UsCotta Transmission High-Speed Transmissions

Available with operating speeds to 80,000 RPM, Cotta high speed transmissions are used extensively in Research and Development testing as well as production testing of aircraft components such as generators, CSD's, and pumps.
Available as both speed increasers and speed decreasers, Cotta high speed transmissions are also used in a full range of non-aviation applications ranging from magnetic levitation trains to centrifugal driers.
Although each model is highly specialized, the wide range of existing high speed designs is likely to provide a suitable transmission for most applications, or a candidate which can be easily modified.
So, whether a standard, modified standard, or a completely new design, Cotta high speed transmissions will meet your requirements.
