Abstract
Abstract This paper presents analytical studies of the most common problems that are encountered in the design of mechanisms to rotate airplane propeller blades about their axes. It includes (1) a brief discussion of centrifugal thrust-bearing loads, (2) an analysis of the torque created by centrifugal force, (3) an analysis of lateral bearing loads from which their frictional torques can be determined, and (4) an investigation of the centrifugal torque of multiple masses by means of which a counterbalance can be designed to neutralize to any desired extent, at all settings, the centrifugal blade torque. The analyses are carried further than in previous published work, and results are reached by which quantitative design data can be obtained with minimum numerical and graphical labor.
