German term or phrase: Elastische Lagerungen sind auf eine Einsenkung von d stat = 5 mm abzustimmen
Ich komme hier mit dem ganzen Satz nicht klar... dieser lautet vollständig: Elastische Lagerungen sind in vertikaler Richtung auf eine statische Einsenkung von d stat (stat in kleinen Buchstaben) = 5mm abzustimmen.
Kann mir jemand einen Tipp geben?
vielen Dank, Regina

Explanation:
Typical German engineering writing style:

dstat is a parameter/variable -- actually the symbol for a parameter called 'd-sub-stat', where 'stat' is a subscript of 'd', 'd' is the symbol for distance, and 'stat' is short for 'static'.

The sentence says that the resilient mounts should be selected for a static vertical compression of 5 mm.
