English term or phrase: rack
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 (internal to the pinion assembly) to provide the minimum amount of backlash between the rack and the pinion for ease of operation.

Irgendwie versteh ich nur Bahnhof. Ich hoffe, die Astronomen unter Euch sitzen am PC und gucken nicht grad zu den Sternen. Danke schon mal für Eure Hilfe.
