Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Motion control
German term or phrase: gelagert
Context:

"Führungszylinder (gelagert, drehbar)
...
Sie lassen sich um Xmm ausfahren und besitzen einen hochfesten, verschleißarmen gelagerten, drehbaren Ring um die Führungsschiene an dem Tisch aufzunehmen."

Cf.: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/4533556

I'm thinking of 'embedded' (cf. http://www.linguee.com/english-german/search?sourceoverride=... ), but I'm not really too sure about it. The existing answer here in KudoZ (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/731306 ) doesn't seem relevant to me.

* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See above
* Document type: Performance specifications
* Target audience: Mechanical engineers
* Country and dialect (source): German
* Country and dialect (target): American English

rotatably mounted
Explanation:
(You cannot be more specific than this and still be correct.) The author is not stating by what means the cylinder is rotatably mounted. The implication is a frictionless type of bearing, but it could be a simple oil bearing, an air bearing, etc. The bearing could be on the cylinder or on the surrounding structure.

"rotatably mounted", nothing more. You cannot be more specific than this and still be correct.)
