German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial
German term or phrase: Turbine und Getriebe
Context: This is an order for turbines and "Getriebe".
Would the Getriebe be a "Drive Unit" or something else like gearbox (probably not) in this context)? We are talking about huge turbines.
Thanks.

Explanation:
As you can see from the links below, 'Getriebe' here refers simply to gears or gear units. The company I've linked to also refers to turbo gears or turbo gear units.

Example sentence(s):
  • Planetengetriebe werden für einen weiten Leistungs- und Drehzahlbereich gebaut und sind in den unterschiedlichsten Anwendungsbereichen zu finden.
  • planetary gears are built for a wide range of powers and speeds, and are used for the most diverse applications.
