English term or phrase: pinion/pinion assembly
Beschreibung eines Teleskops, es geht um den Fokussierer:

The two coarse focusing knobs on each side of the focuser allow quick rough positioning of the eyepiece. They are coupled to the rack and pinion set and the fine focus knob. The assembly incorporating the focusing knobs, the pinion and its housing is called the pinion assembly. This assembly is attached to the focuser housing using 2 socket head cap screws. The position of the pinion assembly relative to the rack, is precisely adjusted by (name of manufacturer) using 4 flat bottom set screws.

I am at a complete loss here. Is the pinion of a focuser a Ritzel or a Rad or sthg. completely different in German? Thanks for your help.

Explanation:
Ich vermute eine azimutale Montierung mit einem Schneckenradantrieb.

Wenn es ein solcher Schneckenradantrieb ist, nennt man dieses Zahnrad auch "Schneckenrad".
