German term or phrase: Senkdrossel
"Grundsätzlich dürfen keine Sicherheitseinrichtungen, wie Senkdrosseln oder Kontaktleiste demontiert oder außer Betrieb gesetzt werden. Es besteht sonst Quetschgefahr. Ist die Demontage von Sicherheitseinrichtungen beim Reparieren erforderlich, so hat unmittelbar nach Abschluss der Reparaturarbeiten die Montage der Sicherheitseinrichtungen zu erfolgen."

lowering valve


Explanation:
Looks like a possibility.

Senkdrossel – lowering valve
http://tinyurl.com/2dynkkw

A flow control valve located on the lowering valve VE 25, can be adjusted to provide the most desirable down speed. When DOWN button is deactivated, the lowering valve closes and the table remains at the same height it is at when the button is activated. The valve arrangement prevents the table from lowering if there is a power failure.

Lowering restrictor


Explanation:
Could it simply be "lowering restrictor" in the hydraulic line in order to reduce the speed at which the lift was lowered in an emergency?
