A propeller for an aircraft turbine engine, comprising means for adjusting the pitch of the blades comprising a hydraulic actuator borne by the rotor and including a cavity and a piston displaceable in said cavity and dividing said cavity into two chambers, as well as means for limiting the stroke of the piston in order to prevent displacement of said blades in a predetermined direction beyond a predetermined limiting pitch angle, and comprising hydraulic connection means with which both chambers may be put into communication with each other as soon as the pitch angle of the blades becomes equal to said predetermined limiting pitch angle during the displacement of said blades in said predetermined direction, these hydraulic connection means being borne by said rotor of the propeller.
A propeller for an aircraft turbine engine, comprising a propeller rotor, blades borne by said rotor, and adjustment means for adjusting the pitch of said blades, said adjustment means comprising at least one double acting hydraulic actuator borne by a said rotor and including at least one cavity and a corresponding piston housed and displaceable in said cavity for causing modification of the pitch angle of said blades, said piston dividing said cavity into two chambers, said adjustment means further comprising limitation means for limiting the stroke of each piston of each aforementioned actuator for preventing displacement of said blades into a predetermined direction, corresponding to a displacement of the piston in a direction orientated from a second chamber towards a first chamber of the cavity housing said piston, beyond a predetermined limiting pitch angle,
