German term

abdrehen

German to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng Electrical Motors
Bei starker Unrundheit bauen Sie den Läufer aus und überdrehen Sie den Kommutator auf einer Drehmaschine. Der Kommutator kann entsprechend abgedreht werden. Die Abdrehgrenze ist durch stirnseitige Abdrehung sichtbar. I can only imagine this process as truing and facing, but am not quite sure here.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Warning: This is from a MAN-glossary that I found online. I cannot tell if this is correct. Maybe it helps...

It says:

abdrehen (Kommutator) ----- re-surface

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you Nicole. I had to post the two terms abdrehen and überdrehen as separate entries - it was the juxtaposition of the two that caused the problem really, as both terms seem to describe the same process. "

agree jccantrell : My first thought. This is what you do to brake rotors when they are out-of-round. See: http://www.howtodothings.com/automotive/how-to-process-or-tu...
