Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
English term or phrase: step
the spring cap preload is tailored to produce a controlled amount of Coulomb friction to dampen vibration conditions typical of roller bearings. The king pin includes a step on the upper portion to transfer the spring cap preload force to the top of an axle beam.


It should be understood that usage of additional steps and/or diameters allows the king pin arrangement to be interchangeable with existing axle beams without the manufacture of special bearing sizes

Explanation:
Although this is not the usual translation of 'step', and is closer to 'shoulder', I think in this case it accurately describes what (I believe) they are explaining here.
