Pitch actuation system for a turbine engine propeller, comprising an actuator, a movable part of which is configured to be connected to blades of the propeller so as to rotate them relative to the blade pitch axes (B), comprising: a transmission screw that can rotationally and translationally move along a longitudinal axis (A), a nut, through which said transmission screw passes and which cooperates with this screw so as to translationally displace along the axis (A) with a view to modifying the pitch of the propeller blades, and means for decoupling between the rotation of the propeller and said nut, which is rotationally fixed; first blade pitch control means, which comprise at least one electric motor setting a component into rotation through a planet reduction gear with a view to modifying the position of the transmission screw; second blade feathering means configured to act on the transmission screw with a view to modifying the pitch of the blades if the first means are inactive, and in that said first planet reduction gear comprises a ring gear rigidly connected to said first component, a planet shaft rigidly connected to said first rotor and a planet carrier rigidly connected to said first housing.
A pitch actuation system for a turbine engine propeller, comprising an actuator, a main transmission screw which is configured to be connected to blades of the propeller so as to rotate the blades relative to a blade pitch axes (B), characterised in that the actuator is an electromechanical actuator comprising:
A method for pitch actuation of blades of a turbine engine propeller using a pitch actuation system comprising an electromechanical actuator, a movable part of which comprises a main transmission screw that can move with a degree of rotational freedom and a degree of translational freedom along a longitudinal axis (A) and is configured to rotate the propeller blades relative to a blade pitch axes (B) from the degree of rotational freedom or the degree of the translational freedom, the method being characterised in that it comprises at least:
