GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English translation:end shield A

Tech/Engineering - Automation & Robotics / Servomotors
German term or phrase: A-lagerschild
Describing the new features on a company´s new range of motors:

"Anstelle der konventionellen Tränkung ist bei den SH-Motoren die Wicklung durch einen Vollverguss thermisch am Gehäuse und **A-Lagerschild** angebunden sowie elektrisch isoliert."

I have found plenty of refs. for Lagerschild, but what does the 'A' mean and what's the best way to tranlate the whole term?

TIA for your help,

Stephen

Thanks for the help. After feedback from the client I found out that 'A' refers to a label on a diagram that wasn't provided. The ends are labelled A and B apparently

agree  Gudrun Maydorn (X): I know this is ages old, but for the benefit of future searchers I would like to explain that A frequently stands for Antriebseite (drive side/drive end), while B stands for Bedienseite (operating side/non-drive end).
