German term or phrase: Anlage

bearing surface
Explanation:
Although all of the previous suggestions are valid traslations of 'Anlage', a tappet (Stößel)is not normally attached to anything. My guess is that here Anlage is being used in the sense of a bearing surface; note that per Cornelsen 'Anlagefläche' = 'contact surface'
