I have come across the term Zahnriemen before and have translated it as "drive belt". Register-Zahnriemen is new to me, though, and I can't really visualise what it might be.

The document pertains to a tender for machinery for the manufacturing of files and file covers.

Thanks for any ideas!

toothed registration belt
Explanation:
A 'Zahnriemen' os a toothed (drive) belt: a belt with teeth on its inside circumference, which engage with slots or teeth on the pullies to prevent slipping. They are used in applications where belt slippage is undesirable (such as timing belts for car engines, drive belts for printer heads, etc.).

In this case you might be able to omit 'toothed', depending on the context.
