Dämpferfüße? Explanation: These sites (below) suggest they are some kind of knobs to put underneath a piece of equipment to reduce vibration... see if it fits in your context! Dämpferfüße is used in the second one. Reference: http://www.vibrapod.com/ Reference: http://www.hificoncept.de/zubehoer.html |

Gehäuse, Behälter, Kapsel, maybe also Gondel or Außentank Explanation: Without further context or knowing where on the machine the pod is located, it's almost impossible to provide an intelligent answer. An engine pod on aircraft, for instance, would be a Gondel (Triebwerkgondel). In military parlance, a pod is an Abschußvorrichtung. Gehäuse, Behälter, Kapsel might be the most generic terms. Hopefully your context provides further clues as to which term might be appropriate. This is what Ernst and Routledge offer: Ernst Englisch-Deutsch : pod (small receptacle) / Kapsel f Ernst Englisch-Deutsch : pod (aero) / Behälter m, Gehäuse n (meist unter Flügel o. Rumpf) Ernst Englisch-Deutsch : pod, engine pod (aero) / Gondel f (für Triebwerk) Ernst Englisch-Deutsch : pod (for fuel) (aero) / Außentank m pod n SPACE spacecraft Gehäuse nt, Magazin nt [Routledge] Ernst, WB industrielle Technik Routledge, Technical Dictionary |
