Spanish term or phrase: disposición
I'm not sure how to translate 'disposición' in this context.


No te vas a poder resistir a nuestra atracción magnética mediante una doble muestra: un acumulador de energía cinética y un cabezal que funciona por levitación magnética. Todo esto supone unos resultados interesantes para el sector Máquina-Herramienta: una velocidad de 72.000 revoluciones por minuto, mejor comportamiento que los cabezales convencionales, mejores posibilidades de monitorizar el proceso, mayor fiabilidad, menor mantenimiento, mayor ***disposición** y mejora del ciclo de vida del componente.

efficiency


Explanation:
Sounds more like efficiency to me...

Although other options could fit:

capability/response capacity...

It does not say 'disponibilidad', which is availability.

Just trying to help! :-)

Explanation:
I'm with Andrew on this one, in that I think it refers to ease of access here. Makes sense to me given the magnetic levitating aspect.
