English term or phrase: compass ball housing

Catalogue d'accessoires pour motos. S'agit de la "Formotion 360 Moto Compass.

"Solid brass and stainless construction and a carefully designed compass ball housing combine to give years of service and eliminate the possibility of compass oil fluid leaking from the housing."

Merci d'avance.

(boîtier de) compas (boussole) magnétique sphérique

Explanation:
Je pense qu'il s'agit tout simplement d'un compas magnétique de forme sphérique, placé dans un boîtier en acier inox et en cuivre.
Vous trouverez plusieurs illustrations de cet article (pour automobiles) sur Internet (recherche compass ball).
La forme sphérique est préférée dans tous les cas où le support (la moto dans le cas présent, mais aussi un aéronef ou un navire) peut prendre diverses orientations dans l'espace).
