English term or phrase: plunger´s "land"

Estoy traduciendo el manual de una máquina centrífuga y no sé cómo traducir plunger´s "land"... Qué viene a ser? Aparece en oraciones como esta:

"Simultaneously, gear pump fluid behind the smaller opposing control piston exerts a force which moves the control piston and slideblock toward "H" control until the hole in control sleeve is sealed by the rotary plunger´s "land".

Gracias por sus sugerencias.

Reference: "ring lands" are the sealing surface for the piston ring.

Reference information:
A ring groove is a recessed area located around the perimeter of the piston that is used to retain a piston ring. Ring lands are the two parallel surfaces of the ring groove which function as the sealing surface for the piston ring. A piston ring is an expandable split ring used to provide a seal between the piston an the cylinder wall. Piston rings are commonly made from cast iron. Cast iron retains the integrity of its original shape under heat, load, and other dynamic forces. Piston rings seal the combustion chamber, conduct heat from the piston to the cylinder wall, and return oil to the crankcase. Piston ring size and configuration vary depending on engine design and cylinder material.
