French term
excursion
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Dispositif selon l'une des revendications 1 à 6, caractérisé en ce que l'un au moins des rouleaux de gaufrage non entraînés est supporté de manière à être capable d'une excursion dans la direction longitudinale de l'axe et/ou dans la direction de la pression de contact…
This appears to be the ability to become displaced/"disaligned" from time to time... English "excursion" doesn't look right.

displacement
The sense seems to be that this is a desirable rather than unwanted ability to move, so i think this term would well be appropriate.

: 'travel' might possibly work here, but I don't think 'stroke' would (really only applies to things that are deliberately reciprocating, for example)

: No, this is a 'tolerated' movement not a deliberate, machine-driven movement such as is implied by stroke or travel.

: Not entirely sure that this pretty informal register would be right for a patent / Shift as a noun is fine, it's only the use of shiftING that I have qualms about

Hmm.. never looked informal to me. Evolutions of a 3-D object can be decomposed into shifts along 3 axes and rotations around 3 axes - that's all there is to it.

fluctuation is also used:
We consider a two-layer Heisenberg antiferromagnetic which can be either in the Néel-ordered or in the disordered phase at T=0, depending on the ratio of the intralayer and interlayer exchange constants. We reduce the problem to an interacting Bose gas and study the sublattice magnetization and the transverse susceptibility in the ordered phase, and the spectrum of quasiparticle excitations in both phases. We compare the results with spin-wave theory and argue that the longitudinal spin fluctuations, which are not included in the spin-wave description, are small at vanishing coupling between the layers, but increase as the system approaches the transition point. We also compute the uniform susceptibility at the critical point to order O(T2), and show that the corrections to scaling are numerically small, and the linear behavior of χu extends to high temperatures. This is consistent with the results of the recent Monte Carlo simulations by Sandvik and Scalapino.

Tony M
: Not the right sense here; this means 'a change from one state to another'. Did you perhaps mean 'translation'? that would be a lot nearer.

lot nearer - a new expression one learns every day.
