Custom-Crafted Propeller Pitch from Wisconsin Casting Manufacturers
What is Propeller Pitch?
Pitch: The propeller’s distance traveled forward after one full completion, typically measured in inches.
The propeller pitch is always specified in the design, depending on how the component will be used. Whether it’s for an industrial-sized food mixer, boat, plane, or agricultural machine, the propelled body’s function changes when the pitch changes.
Looking for an ultra-specific propeller pitch? R2 Quality Casting will create custom propellers based on your exact specifications for pitch. Read more below to find the correct pitch type.
Constant Pitch
A constant pitch propeller changes according to the rotational speed and torque to maintain speed at a constant rate. Fast or slow, the propeller delivers power proportional to the current speed. Constant pitch propellers are mostly used on aircrafts and boats.
Progressive Pitch
A progressive pitch propeller starts at a low speed and slowly increases as the water flows towards the propeller’s trailing edge. Progressive pitch propellers can be found on boats and aircrafts.
Regressive Pitch
A regressive pitch propeller decreases its pitch from the leading edge to the trailing edge, which is commonly used on boats and varieties of aircraft.
Variable Pitch
The pitch of the propeller varies, no matter the chosen radius point. Variable pitch propellers are found on massive ships and aircraft.
Controllable/Adjustable Pitch
A propeller’s pitch at which the blade angle can be mechanically adjusted. Controllable pitch propellers are used on aircraft and marine boats.
Uniquely-Crafted Propellers from Wisconsin Casting Manufacturers
Industries that heavily rely on propellers and their components need everything to work perfectly. It’s an essential that keeps whatever business running smoothly. Without a specified propeller, efficiency ceases to exist and businesses fail.
Our investment casting professionals craft and critique every single propeller, ensuring your exact details are met. From initial rendering to finishing touches, our propellers are run through a grueling quality verification process. We don’t pass-off your propeller component until every test is complete.
Propelling Forward into Tomorrow’s Technology
Wisconsin’s custom propeller manufacturers were founded on investment casting tradition; a thousand year-old manufacturing art form. Today, our foundry remains the same, but our technology and materials have changed with time.
Our higher-quality of alloys, steel, and other tools for crafting complex components set Quality Castings above competitors, proving that “old-school” doesn’t have to be outdated. Aside from propellers, we serve a variety of other industries. We manufacture antique firearm components, specific plumbing fixtures, and construction tools; all finished within our quality testing requirements.
