German term or phrase: Klappzylinder
Bei der Konstruktion hat Tecnoma nach eigenen Angaben besonders auf Stabilität, Flexibilität im Einsatz und gute Gestängelage geachtet. Die Aufhängung des Mittelrahmens erfolgt beim LVS-Gestänge über ein abgedämpftes Paralellogramm. Das Albatross Pendelsystem und Stossdämpfer sorgen für eine Abdämfung der seitlichen Bewegungen durch Ausgleich in der Zylinderbefestignung. Die ***Klappzylinder*** verfügen über zwei Einstellmöglichkeiten zur genauen Klappung, eine Durchflussreduzierungen auf jedem Zylinder eine gleiche Klappgeschwindigkeit der Gestängehälften garantieren.

"Folding cylinders" or "boom folding cylinders"


Explanation:
Tecnoma makes boom sprayers with hydraulic folding booms.
LVS-Gestänge = LVS boom. Hydraulic cylinders activate unfolding and folding of the boom.

Example sentence(s):
  • the folding and leveling cylinders for each outer section of a multisection boom are connected in parallel to a single directional flow control valve
