German term or phrase: Heckrotorschwenkgelenk

My dictionaries give Schwenkgelenk as alpha hinge, drag hinge, lag hinge or lead lag articulation, but none of these seems to occur with Heckrotor or directly with tail rotor, only close to, e.g.:
"...with multi-bladed tail rotors when no lead-lag articulation is provided",
"System for damping lead-lag motion of rotor blades", etc.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Wouldn't that be a Heckrotorkugelgelenk? (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Heckrotorkugelgelenk)

Asker: True, accepted. On the other hand, however, most things that are "schwenk..." are "tilt...", e.g. tilt-rotor, tilt-wing.
