opération effectuée vérin(s) rentré(s)
français vers anglais
Technique / Génie
Métallurgie / moulage
In a user's manual for an industrial compacting machine. As part of the maintenance recommendations:
"vérifier le niveau d'huile (opération effectuée vérin(s) rentré(s)"
I understand this to refer to the hydraulic system that pushes the compactor.
1 - I have found "jack" and "plunger cylinder" as possible translations for vérin
2 - I am unsure of the meaning of "rentré" here.

operation to be carried out with ram(s) retracted
To check the oil level in the system, it is important to specify the position of the hydraulic rams, as this will affect the amount of oil in the reservoir.
In this case, the check is to be perfomred with all rams fully 'in', i.e. retracted.
We usually talk of an hydraulic ram, though in certain contexts (mainly pneumatic, I think) they are sometimes referred to as an 'actuator'; personally, I tend to use 'actuator' for small ones, when 'ram' feels a bit excessive — but I couldn't say for sure if this is in fact correct usage or not!

I think in the case of a compactor, there's no doubt that it would be big enough to count as a 'ram'!

| This is sure Tony, I have seen the photo and can confirm that it is REALLY BIG ! |
