Blade pitch actuation mechanism

摘要

A blade pitch actuation mechanism for a plurality of propeller blades supported in a blade hub comprises a plurality of bearing assemblies, a bearing support plate and a yoke. The plurality of bearing assemblies receives a plurality of actuation trunnion pins from the plurality of propeller blades. The bearing support plate is connected to the plurality of bearing assemblies and unifies the plurality of bearing assemblies in a ring-like configuration. The yoke is connected to the bearing support plate and translates within the hub to adjust the pitch of the plurality of propeller blades.
