Spanish term

carrera de mando

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Railway technology
This is from an instruction for installation of a motorised derailing stop.

"Para la correcta función de este protocolo, es necesario tener preparado previamente el montaje de las traviesas con la medida necesaria (550 mm entre caras internas). Se comprobara que el acto. tenga la carrera de mando a 220 mm. y las comprobaciones (casquillos), en su correcto recorrido."

I take "acto." to mean actuator. Could "carrera de mando" be simply the distance of the remote control cell from the motor actuator?
Proposed translations (English)

3.3.-Accionamiento del cambio

Tanto si el accionamiento está constituido por marmita, accionamiento mecánico o eléctrico, se definen los conceptos siguientes:

- Barra de mando del accionamiento.-Es la que enlazada con la barra impulsora del cerrojo de uña a través del tirante de mando, realiza la maniobra y asegura la retención de aquél al término de ésta.

Carrera de mando del accionamiento.-Es el recorrido fijo o variable, según las circunstancias, entre posiciones extremas de la barra de mando.

One of the most important criteria when selecting a linear actuator is how far it needs to travel. The travel, or stroke length, can dictate the type of drive mechanisms that are practical (screw, belt, rack and pinion, or linear motor). But more importantly, specifying the wrong stroke or travel can leave you with an actuator that is too short to perform the task or process that’s required. On the other hand, an actuator that is unnecessarily long will take up valuable space and possibly interfere with other components in the system.

How about 'travel length/stroke length?

Another paragraph from my previous reference:

Rod-type actuators are typically supplied in standard stroke lengths, such as 100, 150, 200 mm. While some linear actuators are also offered in standard stroke lengths, most manufacturers allow the customer to specify their exact stroke length in millimeter increments.
Note from asker:
Thanks Helena. Some useful terminology there. What do you think of this: "Check that the actuator command travel limit is 220 mm and that the checks (bushings) are properly aligned (command measurement that equals the total slide travel, approximately160 mm, the check rod travel distance).
