rising stem
Explanation:
eje, in my experience with these things, is often shaft, and:

Stem: The rod or shaft transmitting motion from an operator (handwheel or gear operator) to the closure element of the valve. (1st ref)

rising is, of course, one of the possible translations for ascendente

RS: Rising stem - A valve stem with threads arranged so that as the stem turns, the threads engage a stationary threaded area and lift the stem along with the closure element attached to it. (1st ref)

They have an ascending axle


Explanation:
the word ascendente translates into ascending

the word eje translates into Axle or shaft. you can use either word depending on what you are talking about. in this case I feel the word to use would be axle.

hope it helps.
