Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial / centrifuge
English term or phrase: set screw stop
I´m not sure of hot to translate "set screw stop" to Spanish.

This is the sentence appearing in the manual of a centrifuge:

Plow too close to basket side sheet: Adjust set screw stop on lower part of outer tube abutting 4-way valve mounted on top cap. Turn screw clockwise to pull plow blade away from basket.

Any suggestions?

tope de tornillo prisionero
Explanation:
"setscrew stop" - adjustar el tope del tornillo prisionero.
A mi parece que hay que aflojar la tuerca (el 'stop') de un tornillo prisionero (también conocida como "tornillo de ajuste") para que se puede extraer el cuchillo (blade) en la proxima frase.
HTH ;)

tope con tornillo de ajuste


Explanation:
Probablemente se trate de una "stop plate" (placa de tope) ajustable mediante tornillo. Véase la p. 6 del manual en línea indicado.

neutral  Neil Ashby: I don't understand 'con' - estamos adjustando EL tope DEL tornillo de ajuste/prisionero. No? Tal y como has puesto, ?que estamos adjustando "tope con tornillo de ajuste"? No queda sustantivo para ajustar! //In your 'reading' where does "stop" enter into?

  -> El giro semántico "ajuste del tope del tornillo" (o equiv. en inglés) no se utiliza: diríamos simplemente "ajustar un tornillo prisionero/de ajuste/de tope". De ello deduzco que el ajuste del tornillo permite regular un mecanismo de tope.

ajustar el tornillo del tope


Explanation:
Es un instructivo de instalación por lo cual "set" es una orden haga, ponga. coloque, etc.

Es un tornillo especial de regulación colocado en el tope y es utilizado para posicionar la pala dentro de la centrífuga.

El siguiente ejemplo no es de una centrifugadora pero da una idea de la función del tope y de su regulación.

Para ajustar los topes, deberemos actuar sobre los tornillos de regulación, estos están marcados con las letras L y H. Comenzamos a regular el tope exterior ...

disagree  Neil Ashby: No "adjust" is the verb not "set". I think you've mis-read the ST. IMO, your interpretation would give "Adjust adjust the stop screw" ;) Surely a "tornillo del tope" in English would be a "stop screw" and not a "screw stop", wouldn't it?
