Assuming from your description that the Nylonsteg is what separates the two 'chambers' of the coil form. 'Steg' is often tricky to translate, since it generically means 'a relatively long, thin, and essentially rectilinear object', and such objects in English are normally named according to their function instead of their shape.

Otherwise, if it's the central part of the form around which the first layer of wire is wound, then it is in fact the nylon core.

Note from asker:
| Yes, indeed. I've looked through dozens of translations of steg and found nothing that looks likely. |

Comment: "Not entererd in the gloss entry given your explanation and the fact that it could be (and probably is) called something entirely different in English."

nylon web
The shape and function of a Steg is as described by Ken Cox: a thin connecting piece between two larger sections. In patents, nearly always translated as "web". See link for a relevant entry.
