Reduction Gearbox Used in Centrifugal Pump

Centrifugal pumps are most commonly used for pumping low viscosity fluids, such as water, solvents, oils, acids, organics etc.  Cotta’s engineering team designed and manufactured this reduction gearbox that will be used in a large centrifugal pump. First-piece inspection was conducted on every machining sequence, starting at the source to support our zero-defect policy.  After assembly, and testing of the gearbox in Cotta’s state-of-the-art testing facility, the unit was painted in Cotta’s inhouse paint booth, packed, then shipped out to the customer.

See Gearbox Specifications Below:
