Investment Casting Manufacturers Deliver Flawless Propeller Blades
What is Propeller Rotation?
Propeller rotation: An ongoing circular movement that, with enough thrust, propels itself forward.
A propeller’s rotational movement is its most important function. Without it, a propeller is completely worthless. Its forward motion powers heavy duty mixers, airplanes, boats, agricultural equipment, and more.
Quality Castings manufactures top-grade propellers reliable for any job. Our materials withstand the heaviest of forces, guaranteed to complete full rotations every time. We offer all types of propellers in a variety of different metals and iron, including:
- Aluminum alloys
- Stainless steels
- Carbon steel
- Brass based alloys
- Tool steel
- Copper based alloys
- Ductile iron
- Low alloy steel
Types of Rotation for Accurate Performance
High-end propellers must have precise and flawless performance. To execute a certain job, some propellers are manufactured with rotational-specific capabilities. Our propeller casting experts craft the following rotating propellers:
Counter-Rotating Propeller
A multi-propeller operating while each component is spinning in the opposite direction. One advantage of counter-rotating propellers is the balancing effect of the P-factor and torque. An aircraft, boat, or other moving body has no need for a critical engine. Counter-rotating propellers are mostly used for boats and aircraft.
Contra-Rotating Propeller
These propellers share the same axis, but spin in opposite directions. The advantage of using contra-rotating propellers is their ability to use the engine’s maximum power to maneuver a heavier and bulkier body. Contra-rotating propellers are mainly used in the air and water.
Types of Precision Casting Propellers for Countless Industries
The true beauty of our investment casting propeller technicians is the variety of propeller types. There isn’t just one universal component for every application; different functions require specific styles.
