Variable pitch propeller rotor

A bladed rotor comprises a rotor body 2 carrying blades 6, whose pitch can be varied by means of a pitch input shaft 10. The pitch input shaft 10 drives the respective blade 6 about a spanwise axis X of the blade through a harmonic drive reduction gear 14. The harmonic drive reduction gear 14 compri...

Zusammenfassung:A bladed rotor comprises a rotor body 2 carrying blades 6, whose pitch can be varied by means of a pitch input shaft 10. The pitch input shaft 10 drives the respective blade 6 about a spanwise axis X of the blade through a harmonic drive reduction gear 14. The harmonic drive reduction gear 14 comprises a wave generator 16 which is fixed for rotation on the pitch input shaft 10 and a flex spline which meshes with a circular spline 20 and is secured to the blade 6.
