ABSTRACT:
A modular, easily replaceable, pitch actuation system is removably secured within the hub of an aircraft. The modular system houses a driving system which provides a rotational output to set the pitch of propeller blades mounted to the hub, and a pitch changing system that controls the driving system. The driving system includes a high-speed, low-torque hydraulic motor that drives an harmonic drive to amplify the torque of the motor. The pitch changing system includes an actuator which positions a valve that controls the hydraulic motor, and a nulling gear which repositions the valve and acts as a pitch lock.
