Fixed pitch propellers (FPP) by SCHAFFRAN aresuccessfully operated for many decades on variousship types. As unique as the ships themselves arethe propellers designed for these ships and theirspecifications. They can be designed andmanufactured as open or ducted propellers, as singleor multiple screw arrangement with 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7blades.
Apart from meeting the exact power-rpm-relationrequired, effectiveness (best possible efficiency withminimal fuel use) and low noise (minimisation ofvibrations) of the drive as well as harmful cavitation prevention are a priority for us. SCHAFFRAN is ofteninvolved in the early design stage of a project and can thereby support the customers in their selection of theright propulsion concept, as well as the determination of important parameters such as the engine perfor-mance and gear box reduction ratio.
Especially the planning, monitoring, and analysis of scale model tests and sea trials together with the evaluation and optimisation of the drive line is madeuse of by many customers. During the propeller design all parameters of the ship and the drive lineare taken into account in order to have the optimalcombination of propeller diameter, number of blades,blade area, section profile, and blade contour byadapting it to the wake field. We rely on decades ofexperience and latest FEA and CFD methods. Due toour stringent quality assurance, a measurementsystem, especially designed by SCHAFFRAN andspecialist personnel, we are capable ofmanufacturing propellers according to customerspecification in the required tolerance classISO 484-1981 class “S”, class “I”, or class “II”.

SCHAFFRAN PROPELLER + SERVICE GMBHFixed pitch propellers
For many decades design and production of shipshaft installations are belonging to our scope of supply. Together with our fixed and controllable pitchpropellers they are operated successfully all over theworld on many motor and sailing yachts, on marineand governmental vessels, on patrol boats as well asvarious special service crafts in offshoreor research operation. Many merchant vessels andfast ferries are equipped with SCHAFFRAN propellershaft installations and are reliably on duty. Over thedecades we have increased our scope of servicesaccordingly. Today we can offer you perfectsolutions which are adapted to your ship and mayinclude the following components:

Also SCHAFFRAN’s hydraulicallyoperated controllable pitch propel-lers (CPP) have been delivered andoperated successfully for overthree decades on various shiptypes.Through distinct designvariations we are able to offer ouroptimised CPP installations fornearly every ship application.
Our hydraulically operated CPPsare available in different sizes andshapes with and without featheringposition, with 3, 4, or 5 blades. It isunderstood that the blade shape isindividually adjusted for the best
hydrodynamic fit to achieve a minimum in noise and vibrations as well as a maximum in efficiency. With ourproven CPP hub designs, the blade pitch angle can be actuated over a range of 45° with the standard com-pact VK series. This actuation range is extended up to 120° with the VL-S series, thus allowing a featheringposition with minimum hydrodynamic drag for a non-driven propeller.
