1 hr confidence:

valve spools

Explanation:
'slider' would be ok too I guess, as sliding is indeed what the actual part does, but in my experience 'spool'is more commonly used. 'Schieberventil' is translated as 'spool valve'.

(valve) push-rods

Explanation:
Push-rods is how the old "Ventilschieber" in o.h.v. car engines were designated; I wonder if it might fit here?
