Zwischendrehzahlarretierung

English translation: Intermediate speed arrest

12:32 Sep 7, 2019
German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Dieselmotor
German term or phrase: Zwischendrehzahlarretierung
Aus einem Autoteilekatalog:
Elektronischer Drehzahlregler mit ZDA (Zwischendrehzahlarretierung).

Bei "Drehzahlregler" handelt es sich um "Dieselmotorregler" (governor im Englischen).
Was wird dann unter "Zwischendrehzahlarretierung" denn verstanden?
Eine Google-Suche ergibt nur wenige Treffer.
Für jede Hilfe wäre ich dankbar.

agree  Alexander Schleber (X): Good answer, in my opinion, except that I would use "RPM" instead of speed.
1 hr
  -> Thanks for the agree. RPM would be technically more accurate, but somehow just doesn't "sound" good, to my ear.
agree  Dhananjay Rau: Agree. I would suggest the term "arrestment" for "Arretierung" though

  -> As a native speaker I have never heard of the word arrestment

intermediate RPM stop


Explanation:
I would prefer to use RPM instead of speed for the term "Drehzahl".
Otherwise, very similar to Richard's answer.
"Arrentierung" usually translates as "locking mechanism" => stop.
But I am not sure whether a physical stop would be used in such technology. I think that an "interdiate RPM setting" is more likely (but I'm not sure).

intermediate range speed limiter


Explanation:
Presumably used for the intermediate gear stages on automatic motors.
I have a feeling the "-arretierung" is a little misleading here, as that has a suggestion of actually stopping the motor, rather than limiting its speed.

intermediate speed governor or regulator


Explanation:
There's no reason to believe that this feature or technology actually stops or pauses an engine, as the term Arretierung implies.
The logical conclusion to this slight misnomer, therefore, is that speeds will be controlled, governed or regulated.

intermediate rpm controller


Explanation:
like cruise control but for rpm's, so i like the word controller instead of governor.
