Italian term or phrase: sede di passaggio
il funzionamento del servofreno si basa essenzialmente sulla chiusura ed apertura dei passaggi e ad opera della valvola azionata dal puntale di comando; il pedale di comando preme il puntale che fa chiudere il condotto tramite la guarnizione che appoggia sulla sede di passaggio.

Explanation:
In my opinion, the word "passagio" means "di breve durata" and acts as an adjective, then we can translate the phrase "sede di passagio" as "transient seating".

The whole sentence then can be understood as:

"The running of power brake which bases essentially on the closing and opening of transitions and at the operation of the valve operated by driving ferrule; the action in which driving pedal presses the ferrule, causes closing the conduit through washer which rests on the transition seating".

Thank you - a very useful explanation as I hadn't understood what it was at all! However, the term I found to be correct in the end was simply 'passage seat'.
