Italian term or phrase: giri a punto fisso
"si consiglia di regolare il passo dell'elica in modo che non superi 5600 giri a punto fisso". Si tratta di un manuale sul montaggio di un'elica, e si intende rpm ad aereo a terra. C'è un termine specifico in inglese? Grazie!

run-up rotation speed (RPM)
Explanation:
before the plane takes off, the pilot must proceed to an engine run-up, it means the plane's brakes are on, it doesn't move 'e a terra, a punto fisso'
hope it helps

looks like you weren't satisfied with "balancing", "to balance"!
that's what it is
