French term

axe d’élancement

French to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial Manufacturing Patent
This is a patent for a device for increasing the feeding speed for preforms for plastic bottles in a manufacturing process. The term is included in the following context:

"Suite à l’accrochage, la rotation de l’anneau 3, à une vitesse avantageusement supérieure à celle du disque 4, a pour effet d’amener chaque préforme 9 à reposer complètement sur l'anneau 3, l’axe d’élancement 12 de la préforme 9 étant sensiblement perpendiculaire à l’axe de révolution de l’enceinte."
Proposed translations (English)
5 binding axis
4 slender axis
4 core rod
2 slenderness axis

binding axis

Following the collision, the rotation of ring 3 at a speed favorably more than the disc 4, has the effect of bringing each preform 9 to rest completely on ring 3, the binding/forming axis 12 of preform 9 being appreciably perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the ring.

core rod

On the strength of memories of some work I did years ago for Sidel, including a visit to their plant in Le Havre.

Here "axe" could be in the sense of "rod" and "élancement" in the sense of stretching.

Stretch blow molding
In the stretch blow molding (SBM) process, the plastic is first molded into a "preform" using the injection molded process. These preforms are produced with the necks of the bottles, including threads (the "finish") on one end. These preforms are packaged, and fed later (after cooling) into an EBM blow molding machine. In the SBM process, the preforms are heated (typically using infrared heaters) above their glass transition temperature, then blown using high pressure air into bottles using metal blow molds. Usually the preform is STRETCHED with a CORE ROD as part of the process. The STRETCHING of some polymers, such as PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) results in strain hardening of the resin, allowing the bottles to resist deforming under the pressures formed by carbonated beverages, which typically approach 60 psi.The main applications are bottles, jars and other containers.

Sorry, just realized I've quoted the same text twice, but there's plenty out there on rods and blowing, and not all of it is at all dirty.
Note from asker:
I liked your explanation, but unfortunately 'core rod' did not fit the context.

Your patent job?
There's a very useful diagram available and a bit of translation!
Looks like a positioning (verticalizing?) peg to me.
