Fixed-Pitch Propeller · Shaft Line & Propulsion
The AB Volvo Penta R-series propeller is a fixed-pitch propeller within the Shaft Line & Propulsion category. It is fitted at the aft end of the propulsion line, operating in the wake outside the hull, and converts shaft torque into thrust. The R-series designation should be retained when matching drawings, class documents and spare parts, since dimensions and pitch are specific to each installation.
What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Inspect blade edges, tips and surfaces for cracks, pitting and fouling at dry-docking or diver inspection, and check nut locking and taper contact. Compare vibration trends with propeller condition. Repair limits and balancing follow class and manufacturer procedures.
Keep the propeller nut, locking device, fasteners and shaft seal items suitable for the installation. A complete spare propeller is normally arranged ashore, with repairs done by specialist workshops.
