Einstellbereiche

Einstellbereiche is a German technical term that describes the range over which a device, instrument, system parameter or user control can be adjusted. It commonly appears in specifications, data sheets and operating manuals to indicate minimum and maximum permissible or effective settings and is often given together with resolution or step size.

The concept applies across many fields: in mechanical systems it may denote travel or stroke length; in electronics it can mean voltage, current or resistance adjustment; in optics and photography it covers focus, aperture and exposure ranges; in HVAC and medical devices it defines control limits required for safe operation. Typical notation is a numeric interval (e.g., 0–100 units) accompanied by tolerances, accuracy, calibration conditions and environmental constraints.

When defining an Einstellbereich, engineers consider linearity, hysteresis, repeatability, resolution, safety limits and user ergonomics. A broad range increases versatility but can reduce precision or require more complex control; a narrow range can improve accuracy but limit applicability. Calibration and traceability are important where regulatory or measurement accuracy requirements exist.

Einstellbereiche are a standard element of product classification and procurement, enabling users to compare capabilities and ensuring that equipment is suitable for intended tasks. In German technical language the term is widely used and often translated into English as "adjustment range", "setting range" or "range of adjustment."
