English term or phrase: 1/2 turn clearance
The ST is about a the setting of a proximity sensor and its maintenance and it reads:

"the proximity sensor measures grease flow by monitoring an indicator pin on one of the distributor elements. The proximity switch is set to 1/2 turn clearance before shipment"

I'd like to know the proper translation for "1/2 turn clearance". Thank you very much (be patient, I'm just a student)

Explanation:
one option:

Meirs said in English: 1/2 turn of the thread on the body of the sensor

"which is 1/2 of the pitch of the thread. The clearance is between the front face of the sensor and the indicator pin (so they don't touch)"

N of T: I have performed this operation many times and it is exactly as Meirs explained in the discussion board, but it is a long text in spanish. Please see below.

is set to 1/2 turn clearance before shipment= (el sensor) es fijado en su posición una vez que se ajusta dejando 1/2 vuelta (de rosca) de luz frente al sensor, antes del envío.

Hope this helps
