excéntrica

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Transporting products
This is the context: El grupo de accionamiento de la serie XXX está formado por un eje vibrador cuya excéntrica define la amplitud de oscilación del conjunto. La transmisión entre el motor y el eje vibrador se realiza por correa.

use print screen key, @eileen brophy and paste the image in paint or other image program is the traditional way.
now Windows has an specific tool for screenshoots which normally appears on the right down corner


also if you type screenshoot in windows bar search it must appear this recortes/screenshoot tool (muy práctica)
or try Windows key +caps + S as they suggest

mobiles also can do it easily. image would be of help to see the word in context :)

@Althea Thank you very, very much for your advice, I really do appreciate it Althea. I'm sure it will be very useful in the future.

@eileen How to take a small screenshot using Windows 10 Windows 8.1 Windows 7
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/use-snipping-too...

or using Windows 11
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/open-snipping-to...

You can then save the screenshot and upload it to a comment using the "new" verion of Kudoz.

@O G V I don't know how to do a "captura de pantalla" on my laptop. I use Windows on a ASUS laptop, but there are no indications of any way of sharing an on screen image. Sorry but technology is not one of my strong points. :-0((
O G V May 12, 2023:
@eileen brophy "which it's impossible for me to share as it's included in the text" ???
¿no consigues sacar una captura de pantalla? no sé que sistema operativo usas pero es cosa sencilla y para subirla aquí no hay más que poner la versión actual de la página (arriba a la derecha). saludos

@neilmac The image of the "excéntrica" could be a lever wheel because the image, which it's impossible for me to share as it's included in the text, is a round wheel with a biela (connecting rod) beside it.

@neilmac It's a description of part of a machine for moving materials Neilmac. But this part of the text only states what I have included in my question. It's describing a vibrating conveyer .... machine

Excentrica... My Beigbeder Atianza technical dictionary initially has 4 opciones for "excentrica": cam/wiper//lever wheel/tappet. It also suggest "eccentric" (noun). Unfortunately my mechanical/engineering knowledge is limited, and that dictionary has some rather odd choices. It would be interesting to know what is being described - is it a conveyor belt or similar equipment?

Upper/outer limits

Declined
The drive group of the XXX series consists of a vibrating shaft whose outer limits define the full extent of the assembly's oscillation. The transmission between the motor and the vibrating shaft is carried out by belt.

neutral Jennifer Levey : Incorrect. An excéntrica is a mechanical component which functions like a 'captive cam'. You obviously didn't spend your childhood building wondrous machines with a Meccano set. Or perhaps you're a Lego fan ... ?

@Asker - absolutely everything in the Meccano catalogue is a 'part of a machine'. And in my second web-ref you can see how an eccentric works, in comparison with a cam or crack-shaft.

In the animation, see general principles from start to 00:50, then skip to 02:02 to see something that's no doubt very similar to Asker's 'round wheel with a biela (connecting rod) beside it.
Note from asker:
This doesn't look like part of a machine, unfortunately Jennifer. It would be great if it was, but the image I have within the text is what looks like part of the machine looking like a wheel connected to a rod....
Peer comment(s):
neutral Hernan Casasbuenas : I suggest something in this order: whose eccentricity defines the amplitude of the oscillation of the assembly. Engineering is not soemthing I handle.

The question is about excéntrica (an object), not excentricidad (a characteristic of an object - and in some cases, of a person). It is the eccentric that defines the amplitude, not the eje vibrador.

Thanks!
neutral Andrew Bramhall : "excentricidad ' is NOT an adjective!;

True. Edited to suit.

Transportadores vibrantes de frecuencia natural

From an Urbar publication on Transportadores vibrantes de frecuencia natural.

The Spanish version -

"El grupo de accionamiento está formado por un eje vibrador cuya excéntrica define la amplitud de oscilación del conjunto. La transmisión entre el motor y el eje vibrador se realiza por correa."
https://www.urbar.com/wp-content/themes/zerif-pro/pdf/fn.pdf

In one Urbar's English publications on Natural Frequency Vibrating Conveyors -
"The drive unit is formed by a vibrator whose eccentric defines the whole oscillation amplitude. The transmission between the motor and the vibrator axle is made through a belt. When changing the pulleys diameters the driving frequency is syntonized with the system'snatural frequency"
