The part is called the spindle. But I doubt that you will be able to get one at a reasonable price, or would be able to replace it if you could. Usually the part cost as much as a new drive when you include the shipping, etc.
As cheap as DVD Rom drives are today, you are better off to replace the drive them o try to repair it.

Probably the spindle.

A new CD/DVD burner is only about $30.
It is always cheaper to replace than repair them.
