English term

balance wheel

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Context: Sewing maching part
"Turn the balance wheel to ....."
I've found "balance wheel" = "rueda catalina" or "volante"
I understand it's a synonym of "pulley", which is "volante"
I can't see anything wich ressembles a "rueda catalina" in the picture I have at hand.
Thanks in advance!! ;)

Thanks, mpalma, but if forgot to say that in the same manual "pulley" appears, so what do I do? Do I use "volante" for both?

¡Y en este pusieron "ruedecilla"! Pero si mirás las versiones en portugués y en francés, vas a ver que tradujeron como "volante"

volante // polea para pulley

He visto que balance wheel se refiere a la rueda que se encuentra en lo que sería el "codo" del brazo de la máquina de coser. Por eso me inclino por volante
En cambio, pulley lo he visto referido a una polea del interior de la máquina.
