Spanish term

Cabezal

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
This is equipment for an aquaculture company. I'm revising text previously translated, in which cabezal was rendered 'pump'. The dictionary suggests "headstock" - is this appropriate? For example it appears in "cabezal para compresor", "estructura exterior del cabezal de aluminio"

compressor head

A compressor is made up of the motor and the head, the latter being the pressure tank, mostly rounded but sometimes also square. Headstock is more appropriate for "cabezal" in machine tools.

Sam, you need to confirm if this is a pump, where the the "headstock" is called "cabezal". It is also short-called head, but in writing at least it is possible to confuse this with "pressure head", a totaly different concept (see link below). Thus, you want "cabezal" if it is a pump, the same confusion can happen with a compressor.

Gracias
neutral bigedsenior : The term fits if it is the 'head' like the head if an IC engine, which a compressor closely resembles. However, it doesn't match the second term.

Thanks. "Cabezal de compresor" is quite clear and so is "cabezal de aluminio". What is the second term please?

Take a look at the pictures in the link above.
I believe it's probably the "top cover" they're referring to.

This is another possibility. More context would certainly help.
