Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / General
German term or phrase: absehen auf
Not directly an electrical engineering related question as such, this should possibly be classified under a more general heading.
----
Der Vollbrücke-Motortreiber ist sehr kompakt und für den Einsatz in typischen Bürsten Gleichstrom-Motorantrieben, wie bei Scheibenwischern, Förderbändern, Pumpen, Sitzverstellung, Fensterhebern, sehr gut geeignet. **Hier hat man es auf die typischen Brush-DC-Motor Applikationen abgesehen**.
----
I can't think of a direct translation that really fits here. Something like "The product has been designed to meet the requirements of typical DC brush motor applications" maybe? Seems to stray a bit too far from the original though.

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Cheers,
