Besten Dank. Es handelt sich wohl kaum um eine Liste (wie soll die schwenkbar = pivoting sein?)

neutral  yeswhere: I can't imagine one of these on a ' Luftkompressor'. The motor base has to be solid and fixed to prevent vibration.

agree  TService (X): I do not agree to the explanation - but to the suggestion. "Sägetisch", "Bohrtisch" and so on are common german terms. So "Motortisch" should be ok, too.

Aufspannplatte fuer den Motor


Explanation:
It's the heavy base on which the compressor motor is mounted.
Aufspannflaeche, Grundplatte

I can't imagine what else it would be on a compressor!

agree  Rolf Buesken (X): Yes, it is either this or possibly a 'list of motors' suitable for the compressor.

  -> That occurred to me too, being around compressors on a daily basis to work air tools, decided it must be the motor mounting.
disagree  TService (X): "fuer" is no german word; "für" is correct. Spellings with "ue" are just workarounds for non-germans. As this translation will target the german market it is simply wrong.
6 hrs
  -> This must be your pet aversion judging from your previous comments. I agree it's a poor substitute, but on this US keyboard, all the usual ways of creating the umlaut work Microsoft Word but not on this site. Gru(")ss($)e!
neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: disagree with TService - spellings with 'ue' can be for the sake of clarity, i.e. to prevent hieroglyphics

  -> Yup! accepted for looking up words in the online dictionaries too.
