Steckweg

English translation: insertion path

15:51 Aug 30, 2006
German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / spigot and socket joint
German term or phrase: Steckweg
Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass die Mechanik der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtung einen Steckweg festlegt, um den die beiden Rohrabschnitte zusammengesteckt werden.

Another advantage is that the mechanics of the fixing device of the invention define "EINEN STECKWEG" (an insertion? a coupling path? ) around which both of the tube sections are coupled.

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment or suggestions.
