Sprungweite

Sprungweite is a German term that denotes the distance covered by a jump or the reach of a movement. The word combines Sprung (jump) with Weite (width, extent). Because it is used in different fields, its precise meaning varies with context.

In sports, Sprungweite is most commonly used to describe the horizontal distance of a jump, as in track and field events like the long jump. It is measured from the takeoff line to the landing point and is typically expressed in meters. The term emphasizes the extent of how far the jumper travels through the air rather than height.

In mechanical engineering and robotics, Sprungweite can refer to the stroke or travel of a component or actuator. It denotes how far a part moves from its initial position to its end position during an actuation cycle. Here, Sprungweite is a measure of range of motion or displacement in a controlled mechanism, and units are usually millimeters or centimeters depending on the scale.

In other technical contexts, the term may appear to express the practical reach or span of a mechanism, tool, or system when activated. Because the term is multidisciplinary, users should consult domain-specific definitions to confirm its exact meaning in a given document.

Measurement and interpretation of Sprungweite depend on the field: in athletics it is distance in meters; in engineering it is displacement or travel in linear units. The common thread is the idea of how far a jump or move extends from a starting point.
