German term (edited):
Gelenkachse
Selected
articulated/articulating arm
Sounds like a feature that allows the ceiling-mounted speakers/segments to be pivoted/swivelled/turned/tilted.
Are the ‘segments’ perhaps speaker segments, e.g. woofer/tweeter...?
A bit more context might be useful.

hinges
quite simply:
A hinge is a mechanical bearing that connects two solid objects, typically allowing only a limited angle of rotation between them.

: Post-grading: a hinge only has one degree of freedom, a Gelenk may have more - my thinking anyway

joint axis
I guess this may refer to such a construction:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCARA
Hence you could use joint axis especially since what follows is a description of how the joints are constructed: "hollow shaft" ,"cross roller bearing".
