pletinas

English translation: flange / shim / small plate

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:pletinas
English translation:flange / shim / small plate

Spanish term or phrase: pletinas
Centrales térmicas: modificaciones en el turboalternador durante su revisión (como la reposición de **pletinas** en rotor y corona o la sustitución de álabes en corona Curtis fija y móvil).

I have come to the conclusion that "corona" here must be wheel, and "álabes" are blades, but what would "pletina" be in this context? Plate? Platen? Strip? or....????

Any help, references, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks!

I ended up using flange, because the references I found that were closest to my text did indeed use flange in connection with the other words, but no plate of any kind was mentioned. Thanks to both of you. :-)

Explanation:
---Logos gives this translation for "pletina". It IS a part of an alternator (generator of alternating current) and it IS be replaceable. What do you think?

I am so sorry, no references found.
