Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Assembly and maintenance manual for large coupling unit

French term or phrase: portée de calage

This is one of a set of bullet points of the stages of assembly of this coupling unit between motor and gearbox driving something like a sugar mill.

" Mise en attente au delà de la portée de calage des pièces repères 13, 14, 15, 17 qui doivent impérativement être montées avant le calage du moyeu repère 2."

Does this mean something as mundane as "assemble the parts needed close by the fitting site; these parts have to be fitted before fitting the hub item 2".

In this case "portée de calage" I am interpreting to mean "the fitting of parts, items..." but I need a little reassurance.

"Portée" and "calage" are always tricky words for me. Thanks in advance.

beyond the area where XYZ are located

Explanation:
Less elegant than the French, but I think that is what it means. The connection point should be installed well out of the way of 13, 14, 15 and 17.

shaft seat

Explanation:
A portée can be a type of bearing, a journal. It would make sense that the shaft of your motor/gearing thingy would require one.

Moreover, good ol' Ernst gives:

portée de calage de l'arbre - axle seat
portée de calage du moyeu - wheel fit
portée de centrage - centering seat
portée du coussinet - bearing surface
