3-Blade Brass Ship Propellers

3-blade brass ship propellers for model boats

3-blade brass ship propellers are a popular choice for RC and scale model boats. They combine a high-quality, true-to-life appearance with good thrust performance and are suitable for a wide range of motorboats, tugs, workboats, yachts and historic model ships.

In our range, you will find a particularly wide selection of 3-blade brass propellers in various diameters, shapes, thread sizes and directions of rotation.

A-type, C-type and D-type propellers

Depending on the model and the desired propeller shape, various designs are available:

• A-type propellers
• C-type propellers
• D-type propellers
• Versions with a classic or pointed hub
• Left- and right-hand propellers
• Various diameters and thread sizes

This allows you to select a propeller that is both technically and visually suited to the respective model.

3-blade propellers for functional and scale models

Three-blade propellers are used in many true-to-scale model ships and are particularly suitable for models where good thrust and smooth handling are required.

Typical applications include, for example:

• Tugboats and workboats
• Fishing vessels
• Passenger and cargo ships
• motor yachts
• historic model ships
• classic RC working models

Brass ensures a high-quality finish and is particularly well-suited to highly detailed scale models.

Left- and right-hand propellers

Many sizes are available in both left- and right-hand versions. This is particularly important for models with two shafts, where counter-rotating propellers are frequently used.

For single-shaft systems, the direction of rotation should be selected to match the intended drive.

Selecting the correct diameter and thread

When selecting a 3-bladed ship’s propeller, the following points in particular should be taken into account:

• Propeller diameter
• Left- or right-hand rotation
• Thread of the ship’s shaft
• Motor power and speed
• Model size and weight
• Desired handling characteristics

In our range, you will find brass propellers with various metric threads such as M2, M3, M4 and M5.

A propeller that is too large or places too much strain on the system can overload the motor and speed controller. The propeller, motor and shaft assembly should therefore always be matched to one another.

Brass propellers for model boat building

Whether it’s a small model boat propulsion system or a large multi-shaft system – discover our 3-bladed brass propellers in a wide range of sizes, shapes and directions of rotation.

With A-type, C-type and D-type propellers, as well as various thread sizes, you’ll find the right brass propeller for many RC and scale model boats.
