    Pilgrim Nut

    The document summarizes the assembly, removal, and advantages of a Pilgrim nut. The Pilgrim nut is screwed onto the tailshaft and high pressure grease is pumped in to push the propeller up the taper, creating friction grip. For removal, the nut is reversed, a strong back is fitted, and grease is inserted to expand the inner tube and push the propeller aft. Key advantages are precise tightening from an applied load, adequate interference fit without using heat, and being simple, safe, and saving time and labor.

    PILGRIM NUT
    Assembly
    Propeller bedded to tailshaft and jacked up to usual shop mark. The Pilgrim nut is then screwed on the shaft
    with the loading ring against the prop boss. With the lever operated, high pressure grease gun, grease is pumped
    into the inner tube inside the nut at around 600 bar, ( w.p. stamped on nut, not to be eceeded!, the prop will be
    pushed sufficientl" up the taper to give the re#uired frictional grip. The pressure is then released and the nut is
    rotated until it is hard up against the aft face of the prop hub and locked, fair water cone then fitted.
    Removal
    $fter removal of fair water cone and the locking plate, the pilgrim nut is removed, reversed and together with a
    loose shock ring is screwed back onto the shaft. $ strong back is fitted and secured with studs to the prop boss.
    %rease is now inserted to the s"stem epanding the inner tube forcing the loading ring, strongback, withdrawal
    studs and prop aft.
    Advantages
    Precise tightening working on a measured applied load
    Adequate interference fit
    no heat used
    Simple and safe to operate
    No shock loads applied
    Considerable saving in man power and time
