  -> Thanks Gilou!
disagree  Tony M: Over-translation: the s/t doesn't mention any kind of spring, on the contrary, in fact, we know this is pneumatic instead. That is false logic! And what you describe is fortuitous — you would need to refine search criteria to get correct result.

  -> Sorry dear Tony but when you look up Google Images on this query (conveyor cylinder take-ups) you find STRINGS. So my suggestion is in no way an overtranslation.
agree  florence metzger

  -> Thanks Florence!
disagree  FX Fraipont (X): "Verify that 4.1 bar of air pressure is available" => pneumatic take-ups. Not only are you adding something that is emphatically not in the source, but it is wrong.
5 hrs
  -> Ok, je reconnais que c'est soit l'un (pneumatique), soit l'autre (à ressort). En l'occurence : pneumatique. cf: dispositifs de tension à ressort OU pneumatiques (in: https://www.martin-eng.com/sites/default/files/literature/M3...
