French term

points rentrants

French to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Lifts/elevators
I understand this to mean protective guards to bits of the pulley that could trap and pull in peoples fingers or clothing. However, I'd appreciate confirmation and also ideas on a clear and concise translation.

"seule la poulie de tête du limiteur de vitesse n'est pas équipé de protections de points rentrants"
Proposed translations (English)
