Spanish term

maquinas reciprocantes

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering civil engineering
"Se deberá emplear una relación de masas mquinaria/fundación de 2 o 3 para maquinas centrifugas, y más de 3 para equipos reciprocantes"

Editing a document here, with these strange machines. Does anybody know what reciprocante means in this phrase? I've done a search and found the word in sevral places, incl. as a machine, but nothing that gives me a decent idea of how to translate it. (no wonder my colleague left it in Spanish!)
All help is most appreciated..

Thank you in advance ... :o)
Proposed translations (English)

reciprocating machines

Pumps, compressors, engines, etc. can be of the centrifugal or reciprocating type, i.e. with a rotor or impeller which spins and "squeezes" the fluid radially outward through the delivery port (centrifugal), or with a piston or pistons which continually reverse their direction of motion, moving up and down (or back and forth) as in the standard auto engine (reciprocating).

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I would like to give you all some points for this. Thank you very much for the answer - you all gave the same, but my choice was because Crosby gave the explanation that differentiated it from centrifugal machines. (why I didn't think of this, I don't know... but perhaps Russell does!! ... :o) ) Thanks again everyone. ACB"

reciprocating equipment

I know why you have been having a hard time finding this term. That is because it is a general term for a group of equipment that defines its movement (i.e. rotating equipment and reciprocating equipment).

Here is a software company that sells solutions for this type of equipment:

PULS is ideal for predicting pressure pulsation levels and acoustic shaking forces. The program may be used for solving performance problems caused by ***reciprocating equipment*** or flow generated sources in piping and pipeline systems, and in compressor, pump, control valve, and meter stations. Unlike older analog computing methods, PULS provides a state-of-the-art digital solution. The technology is based on methods developed and proven under a multi-million dollar research program at Nova Corporation of Alberta.
