German to English translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / gas heater
German term or phrase:schraubbar geführt
gas regulator fitting for a gas heater
Auf seiner dem Stößel abgewandten Seite stützt sich, in diesem Ausführungs¬beispiel günstiger Weise über eine dazwischen gelagerte Kugel auf dem Me¬tallfaltenbalg ein Zwischenstück ab, das mit einem auf der dem Metallfalten¬balg abgewandten Stirnseite befindlichen axialen Zapfen in einer Bohrung eines Druckstückes geführt wird, das wiederum in einem im Inneren eines zum Gehäuse zugehörigen rohrförmigen Aufsatzes befindlichen Gewindes schraubbar geführt ist, um im Rahmen der Fertigung eine Temperaturjustierung vornehmen zu können.
Screwably guided has been used on a very limited number of occasions judging by hits on Google.
Explanation: It seems fairly clear that you are dealing with a patent here and I would say that "screwably guided" would not be appropriate, even for patentese. I think simply "can be screwed into a thread situated ..." would be considered acceptable.
I've found a patent example going in the other direction for you.
An English-language EP (although originating from Italy):
and a second ring nut 40 which can be retained in the box-like support 38 and can be screwed onto the aforesaid second thread 39. http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/descriptio...
And here is the corresponding German translation of this document:
weiter eine zweite Ringmutter 40, die in dem dosenförmigen Träger gehalten bleiben kann und auf dem vorgenannten zweiten Gewinde 39 schraubbar geführt ist. http://www.patent-de.com/20080306/DE602004007168T2.html
You will also probably find this interesting - a US patent (translation) correpsonding to what I presume is your document. This particular translator has used "threadedly connected".
The side of the intermediate piece 36 opposite the tappet 32 is equipped with a peg-shaped extension which, on the one hand, serves to receive a springy element--described in greater detail below--and, on the other, is longitudinally movably led in a thrust piece 38 which in turn is threadedly connected to upper part 4 in the interior of the top

... dass "threaded guide" passender/geläufiger wäre, aber mal sehen, was die engl. Muttersprachler dazu sagen ...
