French term

encastré

French to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering gearboxes
Context:
Dans une configuration, les engrenages forment un train épicycloïdal disposant d’un porte-satellites qui est encastré au carter, et dans une autre configuration le pignon planétaire soleil est encastré à la couronne du train épicycloïdal et libre par rapport aux satellites.

PR task and translated as:

In one configuration , the gears form an epicyclic gear train with a planet carrier that is flush with the housing, and in another configuration the sun pinion is flush with the ring gear of the epicyclic gear train and free relative to the planets. The transition from one configuration to the other is achieved by axial displacement of the sun. In these different implementations, a maneuver is performed carried out by acting on a mechanical control element accessible either on the front face of the housing through which the power is introduced, or on its side wall.

Unless I`m mistaken this should be "built into" or something similar, not flush.
Confirmation or otherwise would be appreciated.
TIA Chris.

Discussion

Daryo Apr 10:
"flush" is definitely wrong.

In this text "encastré" means that one piece is "inserted in another piece".

It's still unclear if it's a rigid connection (that's how I would understand "encastré") or if there is "only degree of liberty" or none at all, i.e. whether the piece that was "encastré" can freely rotate around one axis or not.

Note from asker:
Thanks. Incorporated seems much better. I`m only on page 5 and lots of errors. The volant has become a flywheel whereas it is in fact a handwheel. A wheel has already turned into an impeller. Might be back again before long.

embedded

les engrenages forment un train épicycloïdal disposant d’un porte-satellites qui est encastré au carter

le "porte-satellites est encastré au carter" = the frame holding "les sattelites" is solidly attached to "le carter".

le pignon planétaire soleil est encastré à la couronne du train épicycloïdal

that would also be a rigid connection, most likely.

by comparing with the patent drawings you could figure out what is what exactly.

Note from asker:
I need to chose between your answer and the first one. BTW, shouldn`t the satellites be planets?
Peer comment(s):

agree Johannes Gleim : the gears form an epicyclic gear train with a planetary gear-carrier embedded in the housing

Are you serious? Just quoting a list of context-free synonyms and an answer based on knowing a thing or two about the subject matter is "the same thing" to you?

socketed into

You can look with a torch inside the rocker box & visually see top of push rods & see if they are socketed into rockers as they should be
https://www.triumphrat.net/threads/kickstart-jammed.962502/

An operating handle 3 is socketed into the spindle which may be arranged to drive a gear 4 via a sliding clutch member 5.

@ Asker Don't get me going on socketing into rockers, I who am more of a rhythm&blues man.

@ Asker & Daryo I'm not suggesting anything remotely connected or otherwise socketed into rockers, mods, or anything else. The example is simply that. Nor am I suggesting lathes or spindles or sliding clutches have anything to do with it, other than in the similarity of their having elements that are encastrés.
Note from asker:
Hi, rocker box as opposed to a planetary gearbox? i`m a bit mystified.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Daryo : The gadget in this ST is some kind of "differential gear" - there are no connections in it that would be comparable to a sliding "rocker/cam connection".

RU you suggesting it just floats in space, like planets and satellites, rather than actually being attached to something?
disagree Andrew Bramhall : It IS attached, but not " socketed", even if socket spanners are used to embed it.
