Spanish term or phrase: Tope
Hi all,

I’m currently working on a text about a doctor blade for use in a paper machine and I’ve come across the following:

Es muy importante que la polea esté fijada al armazón del doctor y no al bastidor de la maquina, porque en este caso sería el oscilador el que tendría que soportar todo el esfuerzo que realiza el cable.

CABLE

- Quitar el ***tope*** en LT (Lado Transmision).
Introducir el portaláminas en el doctor mediante el torno mural.
El portaláminas se introducirá hasta que el ***tope*** de LC (Lado Conductor) pare en las guías.

All suggestions are appreciated.

Kind regards,

Jack

Explanation:
Another possibility could be "stopper", but I'd go for "catch" initially...

Although I'm not familiar with this machine, some version of "stop" could also work, such as:
tope fijo m
ING MECÁ fixed stop;

tope movible / móvil m
ING MECÁ moveable stop
