Variable Pitch Propeller

Variable pitch propellers are designed to provide greater propulsion efficiency across a wide range of speeds and loads by adjusting the blade inclination. They allow obtaining the optimum pitch for any given speed and load condition, important for ships that require variable propulsion under different conditions like speed, traction and maneuverability.

VARIABLE PITCH PROPELLER

The pitch propellers for marine propulsion are designed to give greater
propulsion efficiency in a wide range of speeds and load conditions. When a
ship is fully loaded, the driving power required at a given speed is much higher
than when empty. By adjusting the inclination of the blades, it can obtain the

VARIABLE PITCH
PROPELLER

A variable pitch propeller is a type of propeller blades and which can rotate around its
long axis to change the angle of attack. If this angle can be positioned in negative values,
the propeller can also create a reverse thrust for braking or reverse without changing the
direction of shaft rotation.

Why Variable Pitch propeller?


Today, ships need cost possible
with the smallest but most
important performance.
Variable Pitch Propellers are well
suited for working ship which
require variable propulsion
conditions such as speed,
traction and maneuverability.
