Italian term

basculam.

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial
this comes from a list of specifications about a piece of machinery. One column says Tempo Ciclo (escluso sparo e indurimento) and the next one says 30 sec. (esc. basculam.)

So, is it Cycle time (not including shooting and hardening) and then it's 30 seconds, not including ??? I'm sure basculam. is short for something, but not sure what.

swinging

Yes, Simon is right, but usually, the technical term for this kind of oscillation is "swinging movement"

Grazie Gian!
neutral simon tanner : Yes; it's the fact that it's expressed in seconds that made me think perhaps balancing, but I see it could well be 'swinging time' or 'oscillation time'.

Yep Simon, you are right, balancing is a synonym in this context

Grazie Vladimir!
neutral Giovanni Pizzati (X) : swinging è oscillante, qui si tratta di staticità di equilibrio e non di movimento.

sì Giovanni, questo basculamento è un sinonimo anche di decentramento che si rende con swinging,ovviamente qui è swinging time.Balancing in gergo tecnico è equilibratura/bilanciamento,azione compiuta volutamente per correggere il fenomeno del basculamento
