The Federal propeller line concentrates on the application specific custom design and manufacturing efforts. Federal features propellers ranging 12” to 96” in diameters. Michigan Wheel is a propeller supplier to custom yacht manufacturers, production boat builders, and commercial shipyards around the world. For those that seek to optimize performance and efficiency, Michigan Wheel is challenged with expanding propeller design and analysis capabilities. Optimized propeller fit does result in increased speeds, improved cruising range and exceptional passenger comfort levels.
High end motor yachts, high speed sportfish boats, and military craft are challenging applications, and require sophisticated propulsion to optimize performance to design intent.
The Federal propeller line is often the solution to maximize performance. Michigan Wheel engineers work directly with builder engineers and consulting companies, applying ever evolving, sophisticated propeller design codes to applications.
Much of the Federal line is specific to particular boats, and consists of various blade counts, areas, variable and/or progressive pitch distribution, camber, particular rake, skew, and tolerance requirements. The Federal propellers, with few exceptions, are CNC machine finished, with process inherent tolerance meeting ISO 484 Class S requirements. From primarily in-house design, Michigan Wheel CAD department equipped with seats on the most current software generates mill programs for both pattern and propeller finish. Michigan Wheel Grand Rapids is self contained in having design, programming, and pattern shop under one roof, feeding directly onsite to its integrated foundry, machine shop, finishing and inspection departments.
