German-English Mechanical Engineering Glossary Index (A

This is by far the largest glossary on this site; it is also the most popular. (Most of the other other glossaries on the site are quite a bit smaller.) This glossary touches on a lot of different topics in Mechanical Engineering. It contains multiple images to illustrate the terms; you can search for alternate translations for some terms; and there are links to small sample translations where selected terms are used. English translations are given as well for some terms when they are part of larger terms or when they are used in fields other than mechanical engineering. Maybe because the author is a Mechanical Engineer the glossary is so large! :-) Enjoy!

There are multiple crossover points in the glossary to other engineering fields. These are cases where mechanical engineering terms are also used in other fields with different meanings sometimes. These references are marked in the glossary where the usage in other fields is given. Some of the other fields mentioned are: Railways, Welding, Documentation, IC Design, Business Administration, Mathematics, Legal, Exhibitions, Gas Exploration, Electronics, CAD, University, Electromigration, Engines, Controllers, Solar Energy, etc.

By the way, all terms in this glossary are also stored in a database. You can search in this database for terms from the glossary. You can also browse through the glossary by going to the pages listed in the table below.

To show examples of mechanical engineering terms held in the glossary and in the database here are some random records it contains. If you refresh the screen a different set of random terms will be output.
