Genuine Cotta Repair Service: High-Speed Gearbox SN1939-1

Cotta recently repaired this High-Speed Gearbox Model SN1939-1 which has been in use for almost 14 years by a leading aerospace manufacturer of jet engines and related components. Our SN1939-1 gearbox is used to test production parts, such as engine-related components, at their manufacturing facility. During routine preventative maintenance, our customer noticed the gearbox had about a “tablespoon of metal debris” that collected on a magnet at the bottom of the gearbox. From our inspection here at Cotta, we found one bearing wasn’t spinning freely on the high-speed shaft – which we discovered also had a small chip in the shaft. Our Genuine Cotta Repair Service begins with a thorough inspection, cleaning and complete evaluation and then, after our diagnosis, only Genuine Cotta Parts are used as replacements during our reassembly process.
