Italian term or phrase: diedri intercalati
text about relays for railway signalling systems

"Il fulcro fra armatura mobile e supporto fisso, coincidente con lo spigolo di due coppie di diedri intercalati, è stato particolarmente studiato per garantire una rotazione con un minimo di attriti, massima precisione e ripetibiltà e lunga durata"

"Nella pratica realtà il fulcro, teoricamente coincidente con la linea formata dagli spigoli delle due coppie di diedri intercalati, è realizzato arrotondando gli spigoli dei due diedri esterni fissi (supporto del circuito magnetico e gancio esterno di tenuta) con raggio 0,15 mm per conferire la necessaria consistenza meccanica e resistenza alle sollecitazioni, mantenendo gli spigoli dei diedri interni dell'armatura mobile a raggio zero"

English translation:intercalated dihedrons
Explanation:
Two pairs of intercalated dihedrons.

If you wanted to change the sentence structure, you could say something along the lines of "two pairs of dihedrons placed...." or "two pairs of dihedrons inserted between...". This leaves you room to explain where the dihedrons are inserted, or what they are inserted between. But 'intercalated' is a legitimate English term that suits this case just fine.

"Dihedron" describes the shape of the object and is sufficient, as their function does not play a large role in the paragraph.
