German term or phrase: nutzschwingbreite

In the Bedienungsanleitung eines Frequenzumrichters für Schwingförderer, in Section 10 Einstellung, 10.2.4 Regelbetrieb.

"Da in der Praxis die Beschleunigung auf die Erdbeschleunigung bezogen und die Nutzschwingbreite in mm gemessen wird, ergibt sich folgende Faustformel: ..."

I am guessing "useful...", or probably better "effective..." "oscillation amplitude", but I would greatly appreciate correction, improvement or confirmation.

Thanks everyone!

I took courage from Fred and went with "effective oscillation amplitude".

There´s good case for leaving out "oscillation", as suggested, but the redundancy is not out of keeping with the source document, and in some sentences it goes better with.

2 hrs confidence:

vibration amplitude

Explanation:
Since this is for a vibrating conveyor, I would just use the above.

This is a quote from the link:

... For smaller feeders, electromagnetic drives may be used to generate a high-frequency, reduced-amplitude vibration.

My take on it from the USA.
