Spanish term or phrase: elementos de deslizamiento y de compensación de juego
Hi all,

I'm translating pages on a retail site from Spanish (Spain) into British English and am having trouble with one section of a product description relating to a work bench for circular saws.

Here is a link to the product in question: https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0725759P4.

The tricky phrase appears in the following sentence: 'El tope angular está equipado con elementos de deslizamiento y de compensación de juego guiados por resortes. Con él se pueden realizar cómodamente cortes angulares exactos de hasta 180° en serie.'

I've been on the manufacturer website and it provided the following translation: 'with spring-guided play compensation and gliding elements'.

I've done some further research and there doesn't seem to be any other products that have 'play compensation', so I have a feeling that it could have been MT'd. Could someone help please?

Many thanks!

It's a German company, but I suspect your Spanish is a translation from the English website.

IMO, the word "compensation" is meaningless. I have added links below to suggestion that "compensación for resorte" is "spring balancing".

In my third link above regarding the Master Cut 1500 series precision saw table, the translation was simply "spring-loaded gliding element" which appears to be a better translation than the one Matthew posted. Regards.

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: The site looks very professional to me. 'Play compensation' is shorthand for 'compensation for play' - thousands of references. The Spanish was a mistranslation of the original English. See my comments in the Discussion.

  -> I disagree. I ran it again: "The angular stop is equipped with sliding elements and spring-guided play compensation"; AFAIA concerned, "play compensation" means nothing. Resorte de compensación de juego is a "take up spring" (Diccionario Politécnico).
