Spanish to English translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / wire drawing | | Spanish term or phrase: planos de torsión | This comes from a Spanish manual about a machine used to clean wire and prepare it for a wire drawing process. The client wants UK English.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA MÁQUINA
5.1. Características técnicas
- Diámetro del alambrón máximo: 13mm.
- Entrada del alambrón: lado izquierdo
- Salida del alambrón: lado derecho
- Altura entrada al suelo: 1013mm.

- Nº de planos de torsión: 1
The wire is threaded through two chambers in the machine that first rinse it and then dry it, it's fed through with rollers. According to my research the "planos de torsion" refers to the surface area where the rollers are installed. I'm not sure what to call this in English. Has anyone ever come accross this before? Thank you in advance. |

so how would number of .......surface area
work?

Shafts
www.mitcalc.com/doc/shafts/help/en/shaft.htm
In most cases, shafts are used to transfer rotary movements and torsion moments .... The plane passing through the axis and forming an angle with the main plane (Z-X) is the "Definitional" plane (red) .... 0.03, Single-row tapered roller bearings ...
but then
would number of torsion planes make sense??

on top of all that, I cannot find "planos de torsión" on any site in Spanish:)

Asker: Good point Liz, but according to the company's glossary they want to use "torsion" and not "torque" for torsión.
Asker: Here's another issue, I think the original document was in German and what they gave me was a machine translation into Spanish. I have also not been able to find any references to planos de torsión in Spanish. I am going to leave a note for the client and ask them to specify.
