Abstract
A system for controlling the pitch of fan blades of a turbine engine propeller, the system including an actuator secured to a casing of the turbine engine, having a movable portion that is movable in translation relative to the casing, the movable portion being mechanically coupled to a load transfer bearing having an outer ring that is coupled to fan blade pivots so that a movement in translation of the movable portion of the actuator leads to a change in the pitch angle of the fan blades, and at least one locking peg secured to the casing of the turbine engine and suitable, in the event of the actuator malfunctioning, for mechanically locking the load transfer bearing in a position wherein the fan blades are feathered.
