Selected
working axis
as in "the axis along which the jackscrew works"
this is mentioned multiple times on linguee as a translation of "axe de travail", but please us the English term as an entry because otherwise you will get multiple occurrences of the inappropriate (in this context) "workstream".
used for example in patent EP0976946

: Linguee in general and Fr-En in particular is dreadful, as unreliable as it gets.

true: in general, be careful, but in this case there are so many agreeing entries...

: Problem with Linguee: translators use it as a source, find an inaccurate translation and copy it. Their wrong translations become Linguee entries, boosting other translators' confidence by number of matches and bad translations reproduce like rabbits.

Workstream
Since April, the CAA has undertaken three broad workstreams focussed on managing
disruption at airports, both within our statutory powers and acting beyond them where action
can be taken to protect consumers.

operation axis
As simple as that - it is a physical/geometrical description on how the endless screw actuator works/operates/functions - a little bit pompous wording, like in patents lingo
This one is also called a jackscrew

slideway
If the text is about actuators for aircraft nacelle systems, then the *axe de travail* should be the *coulisseau* - *slideway*, in English - that is inside the actuator' sleeve and where the endless screw (vis sans fin) performs its job, mainly by extension along the slideway.
Discussion
This translation seems largely acceptable.
'and is mounted in the body for rotation' may be better.
