French term

longueur de course

French to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng Home automation/blinds
Hello

This is easy to understand and I thought that I would find a standard English equivalent in seconds but I just can't

Gestion de l'orientation des lamelles et de la ***longueur de course*** en cas de pilotage de stores

it's not "stroke length" is it as that is surely only for pistons etc.?

So after trying a number of possibilities, and coming up with nothing that works, here I am.

Thanks in advance
Proposed translations (English)
4 +3 length of travel / travel length

"length of travel" works for most actuators

@ Phil Hello Phil
That's a start but what if you wanted to raise the blinds but say maybe half way? I think I need something that works in both directions (up and down).

length of travel / travel length

As Chris has already said, 'travel' is one of the commonest translations for 'course', and fits in very many contexts, including yours, I believe.
