German term

Mnenn

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering couplings
I've got a general question.
The text I'm doing this morning has
Mmax for Maximaldrehmoment
Man for Anfahrmoment
Mnenn for Nennmoment.
Should I leave these in German as they are or should I find English equivalents? The full words (maximum torque etc.) are written beside the abbreviations in each case.
What do you do?
Proposed translations (English)
4 +4 Treat it like
3 Nm rated torque

Non-ProZ.com Jul 1, 2005:
Mnenn I know Mnenn is rated/nominal torque. I'm not looking for the meanings this time. I have to use abbreviations here because they are used in formulas for calculations. I'd just like to know what the general consensus is. Should I leave Mnenn etc. as they are or should I use, maybe, Tmax instead of Mmax, Trated instead of Mnenn? If so, what would Man be? Tstart?

Treat it like

maximum torque, i.e. if English is given, in case abbreviations appear elsewhere.

Mnenn is nominal torque

Man = Tstart / Tinitial
Max = Tmax
Mnenn = Tnominal/rated

If there is a chance that they appear elsewhere, you should leave them, otherwise there would be no way for the reader to find out what they mean. Or at least offer both German and English.
