PROPELLER
RECOMMENDED SPECIFICATIONS
Viewed from the front of the engine, the Rotec Radial prop-shaft rotates counter clockwise (CCW). Therefore, a stan-
dard orientation propeller is used. This is reversed when the engine is used in pusher configuration.

Diameter*
1.93m (76’’)
2.13m (84’’)
Pitch*
1.40m (55’’)
1.40m (55’’)
NOTE:
When selecting a propeller with lesser diameter than recommended, an increase in pitch is necessary. For example, a
Rotec R3600 with propeller of 78’’ - 80’’ diameter will need a pitch of 56’’.
NOTE:
When selecting a propeller with a pitch greater than recommended, a reduction in propeller diameter is necessary.
For example, a Rotec R2800 with a 76’’ diameter propeller, with a pitch of less than 53’’, will see the engine over
speed at WOT.
NOTE:
A three blade, wood laminated, 68’’ diameter, 82’’ pitch propeller has been successfully used on a Zenith CH 200.

Target Engine RPM*
Target Propeller RPM
100% (Static)
3000 - 3100
2000 - 2067
100% (Take Off)
3250 - 3350
2167 - 2233
75% (Crusie)
3000 - 3250
2000 - 2167
NOTE:
Using a recommended propeller, will see the engine work in its target performance range. Engines should not ex-
ceed approximately 3500 RPM with a propeller mounted, as going any higher will only result in the blades ‘slapping’
the air (2333 propeller RPM)
To avoid confusion and waste, propeller bolts are not supplied with new engines. There is no standard propeller thick-
ness and therefore no standard propeller bolt length.
Propeller Bolts Required:
•
R2800 - 6 x Metric M8 x 1.25
•
R3600 - 6 x Imperial 3/8-24 UNF
Propeller bolt torque settings are to be recommended by the propeller manufacturer. Torque specifications are depen
-
dent on the propeller material and thickness. For more information on propellers bolt torque specifications, contact
the manufacturer.
Corrosion Resistance:
•
Propeller drive dowels (lugs) - case hardened
•
Propeller hub - electroless nickle plated
