Vorzeichen

German to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Hat das Moment der E-Maschine jedoch ein dem Verbrennungsmotor-Moment entgegen gesetztes Vorzeichen, so wird die Last des Verbrennungsmotors angehoben und man spricht von Lastpunktanhebung.

I'm really not too sure how to translate Vorzeichen in this context, so would be grateful for any help!

neutral Erik Freitag : Generally correct, but "algebraic" seems a bit overdone here./Yes, I see your point.

Well, the original looks a lot like an excerpt from a lector's script or like a technical definition, so I guess one can stick to academic terms.
