Kamome CPP 5500mm 5B

A 5.5 m diameter, five‑blade controllable‑pitch propeller made of nickel‑aluminium bronze, designed for low‑speed main engines (≈150 rpm) to provide variable thrust and rapid reversal. As a Controllable-Pitch Propeller (CPP), 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. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
