Spalttoleranz

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Hi all,

I'm finding it difficult to come up with a good translation for Splattoleranz. It's from a general engineering document from a company specialised in lubrication technologies, machine maintenance and tribology.

Here are two examples of the way it is used:

1) Verringerte Spalttoleranzen und eine bessere Güte der Oberflächen ermöglichen extrem hohe Betriebsdrücke für eine gesteigerte Schließkraft und überaus präzise arbeitende Anlagenkomponenten

and

2) Moderne Hydrauliksysteme mit ihren geringen Spalttoleranzen und hohen Betriebsdrücken sowie feinere Filter stellen immer größere Anforderungen an die Filtrierbarkeit der Hydrauliköle.

The translation software I've used suggest fission tolerance and on linguee someone has gap tolerance, but I'm not convinved by either of those. Any techies out there who might be able to help?

Thanks.

"Mechanical component tolerance:
Dimensional tolerance is related to, but different from fit in mechanical engineering, which is a designed-in **clearance** or interference between two parts. Tolerances can be applied to any dimension."
