German term

thermisch arbeitend

German to English Tech/Engineering Patents Maschinenbau
Auszug aus einer Patentschrift:

"Diese **thermisch arbeitenden** Verschiebeeinrichtungen arbeiten in der Weise, dass die Abstände der Achsen der Spindeln erfasst werden. Bei Abweichungen von einem vorgegebenen Maß erfolgt eine entsprechende thermische Beaufschlagung der Verschiebeeinrichtungen, bis die benachbarten Werkzeugträger wieder einen entsprechenden vorgegebenen Abstand voneinander haben."

Kann ich sagen "operated by heat"? Oder ist das für ein Patent zu frei?

thermically active

because it's a patent, stick as closely to the original, even though the result will not get you a prize for style....plenty of years as a patent examiner....
