Controllable Pitch PropulsionThe controllable pitch propulsion system can be designed for either mechanical or hydraulic operation of

the propeller pitch. Mekanord gearboxes are designed specifically to optimize the operation of the propel-

lers under all load conditions. The propeller pitch is adjusted smoothly and fast from full ahead

to full astern by the use of state-of-the-art gearbox technology.

Controllable Pitch Gearbox Features• Integrated complete hydraulic servo system for pitch control which ensures easy installation,

operation and maintenance

• Compact design

• High reduction ratios available allowing large diameter, slow rotating propellers with high

efficiency. This results in higher thrust and lower fuel consumption

• Up to 3 PTO s available per gearbox. Each with independent hydraulic clutch

• PTI for hybrid systems

• Customized gear ratios and PTO/PTI design

• Either mechanical or hydraulic operation of the propeller pitch

• Approvals according to latest rules from classification societies

Advantages of Controllable PitchControllable pitch propulsion systems offer a wide range of advantages. The most important are:

• Flexibility

• Efficiency

• Economy

• Maneuverability

A controllable pitch propulsion system ensures that the vessel will feature both maximum towing power

and optimum speed. This is only possible using controllable pitch propulsion. It is always possible to

achieve maximum engine efficiency regardless of the operation mode of the vessel. By adjusting the

propeller pitch, the engine can operate at maximum power without overloading the system. At lower than

maximum vessel speed, fuel consumption can be considerably reduced by lowering the engine RPM while

increasing the propeller pitch to maintain the required vessel speed. In this way overall efficiency of the

propulsion system is optimized.
