English translation:ball-and-socket-type joint element
Explanation:
"Liaison par rotule" is a "ball-and-socket joint" or simply a "ball joint". To respect the structure of the source text, I'd suggest "ball-and-socket-type joint element" or "ball-type joint element".

The patent at https://patents.justia.com/patent/20160040803 contains "ball-and-socket-type joint element".
