Abstract:
A pitch actuation system for a turbine engine propeller includes an actuator with movable part configured to rotate the blades of the propeller relative to the blade pitch axes. The actuator includes a transmission screw that is rotatable and movable in translation along a longitudinal axis, and a nut that engages the screw to move in translation along the longitudinal axis to adjust the pitch of the propeller blades. The actuator further includes non-rotatable decoupler for decoupling the rotation between the propeller and the nut. A blade feathering device has at least one electric drive motor and is configured to translate a member along the longitudinal axis. A blade pitch control device includes at least one electric motor configured to drive a rotor about the longitudinal axis, wherein that rotation rotates the screw and transmits translation of the member.
