Pivoted support that allows the rotation of an object about a single axis

Radar target is approaching azimuth or elevation limits.

A mechanical frame, with two perpendicular intersecting axes of rotation, used to support and furnish a gyro wheel with the necessary freedom to tilt in any direction.

A device for suspending something, such as a ship's compass, so that it will remain level when its support is tipped.
