Abstract

The invention relates to a process for providing a bearing of a tilting device, which makes possible a tilt around at least one axis, with a tilting member, a base member, and a bearing situated between these two members. The center of gravity of the tilting member is situated at the pivot point of the bearing. A first portion of the tilting member is arranged above the pivot point, a second portion of the tilting member is arranged below the pivot point, and the weight of the first portion of the tilting member and the weight of the second portion of the tilting member correspond to each other.
