German term

Abgang

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering worm gear
I'm afraid it's difficult to give much context as I have no full sentences, just small phrases or individual words. I am translating a list in connection with a worm gear.

All I know is that the "Abgang" can be to the left, the right or on both sides.

I think I know what they mean (don't want to put words in anyone's mouth though in case I'm totally wrong) but I don't know what to call it.

TIA

Thanks for all the input. I am consulting the customer as there is no further context I can give. I'll let you know

shaft hand / hand configuration What is meant by “shaft hand” of the gear reducer?
The location of the output shaft of a reducer relative to it’s input shaft is called the hand configuration. It is generally referred to as a right hand (R), left handed (L), or double left and right (D). Determine shaft hand by looking into the input face of the reducer and identify which side of the reducer the output shaft comes out.

Abgang links/rechts/etc ist hier wahrscheinlich die Position der Abgangswelle(n) in Relation zur meistens als Hohlwelle ausgeführten Eingangswelle, also left-hand, right-hand, double (through-type) output shaft

Please quote the German original and tell us what type of text it is. A patent, a catalogue, a spare parts list? Abgang makes me think that you might be dealing with a worm gear drive or a screw conveyor instead - all of which might be called Schneckengetriebe if the German writer was not too pedantic.

output

this is the wormgear output, i.e. where the torque is output to the downstream components
or transmission output.
the output shaft of the worm gear can be on the left, right or both sides.
Example sentence:

This can be an advantage when it is desired to eliminate any possibility of the output driving the input.

Not my field at all, but see if it works for you. That's how we'd call it in medicine...
