Thrust bending, centrifugal and aerodynamic twisting, torque bending and vibratory forces. The propeller hub is subject to the Centrifugal force of the blades acting to pull away during operation.

Southern Propeller Services uses specialist equipment, calibrated tooling and processes in the inspection and overhaul of aircraft propellers. During the overhaul process, blades are measured for serviceability, the propellers are dismantled, stripped of protective coatings and inspected. Any rework required is carried out, the components have protective coatings applied, painted and reassembled with mandatory replacement parts. All work is carried out in accordance with the appropriate manufacturers overhaul manuals.

We stock a large range of parts required for repairs and overhauls to minimize turnaround times.
