Context: quality control checklist for the assembly of an internal combustion motor powering a backup electric generator.
POINT D'ARRÊT: The people supervising the motor assembly process are required to enter the date of execution of each step, the name of the supervisor, and any "Points [de] notification" (Notification Points...or perhaps I should translate this "Incidents") that arise during the process, which they must classify as requiring a report, the filling out of a non-compliance form ("fiche de non conformité"), a technical test ("contrôle technique"), etc. These classifications of incidents include "Point de Convocation" (incident or point requiring calling a meeting to discuss it) and "POINT D'ARRÊT," which I propose translating STOPPING POINT--i.e., an incident requiring stoppage of the assembly work. My doubt: could this also be a Ruling or Decision Point (looking another meaning of "arrêt")? What's typical usage in the industry?
FUSÉE DU VILEBREBREQUIN: Is this the crankshaft STUB AXLE, SPINDLE, SWIVEL, PIVOT, INNER SHAFT or what? My knowlege of engines is obviously limited.
COMPENSATEUR D'ÉCHAPPEMENT: Exhaust COMPENSATOR, ADVANCE, what?
VÉRIN PNEUMATIQUE "STOP": stop pneumatic jack???
COFFRET ÉLECTRIQUE: Electric control panel, electric terminal box...what's the normal usage?
AMORTISSEUR DE VIBRATION: Flexible mounting, resilient mounting, shock absorbing buffer?

Point d'arrêt: hold point. In QA procedures, this is a point where work can proceed no further until all the required steps have been recognized as completed.
Fusée de vilebrequin: crankshaft spindle. This is the end of the crankshaft, where it is attached to the next component (e.g. flywheel: check dwg)
Compensateur d'échappement: Exhaust bellows (joint). This is a bellows section which compensates for exhaust pipe expansion due to heat.
Vérin pneumatique "stop": "stop" air cylinder. This sounds like a pneumatic control device.
Coffret électrique: electrical control cabinet OR junction box (check dwg)
Amortisseur de vibrations: vibration damper. This is usually provided to damp out shaft torsional vibration
Hope this helps

Comment: "You have indeed helped me. Thank you very much.
Wisely, you refer me to drawings to help make the most accurate possible translation. My problem
with this job is that there are NO drawings."
