friction acting on
Depends on the context - is it the force of dry friction acting on the axis itself, or the force of dry friction in action at the location of the axis/motor?
Possible cover both suggestions:
"F is the force of dry friction acting on the axis of the outer gimbal and torque motor."

Should read: \"suggestion that could covers both options\" (as opposed to enigmatic \"possible cover both suggestions\").
