Kamewa CPP 4500mm 5B
A 4.5 m diameter controllable‑pitch propeller (CPP) from Rolls‑Royce/Kongsberg’s Kamewa line, featuring five nickel‑aluminium bronze blades and hydraulic pitch control for rapid thrust reversal and efficiency across a wide speed range. The supplied category identifies it as Controllable-Pitch Propeller (CPP), and it is normally installed at the aft end of the propulsion shaft with a hub containing the mechanism that rotates the propeller blades about their own axes. In that role, its primary purpose is to vary thrust and reverse thrust direction without necessarily reversing shaft rotation. Compared with an FPP, a CPP adds blade bearings, a pitch-control mechanism and hydraulic or mechanical actuation, which introduces additional sealing and control maintenance. Within the supplied list, neighbouring variants are distinguished by their model designations and naming, while the source does not state further model-specific hardware differences. No additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Service & Maintenance
Inspect blades, hub, seals, hydraulic-oil condition, pitch feedback and accessible control equipment. Trend pitch response, oil leakage and any hub-oil contamination. Check blade roots and sealing areas carefully during docking. Refer to the manufacturer and class documentation for the exact figure for blade-bearing clearance, pitch limits and seal criteria.
