Spanish term

rodamiento a rótula

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
The whle phrase is: "Vista de los segmentos rotos de las canastillas extremas de uno de los dos rodamientos a rótula" These are bearings within the coupling of an electric motor and a speed reduction gear in a cement mill. I just don't know exactly what type of bearing is meant.

If you are translating just the text, why would you need the type if it is not on the source text? Would helpers know what type of bearing without looking at a picture?
