feather yoke / spring yoke
Explanation:
The first translation is give by the ref. As I have no idea what that is supposed to be, I am inclined to believe that here a spring yoke (or spring frame) makes more sense than a feather yoke.

spring yoke


Explanation:
I think this is component on piledrivers, mechanical hammers etc. to absorb the shocks; I'm not totally sure, but I'll see if I can find any confirmation.
I should in any event steer well clear of "feather yoke" - it looks like some smart student has got hold of a dictionary and used that, rather than having any (good) idea what he was talking about.
