This is a 1-dim. translational component with two flanges and a support/housing. It is used e.g., to build up parts of a drive train graphically consisting of several components.

If useSupport=true, the support connector is conditionally enabled and needs to be connected.
If useSupport=false, the support connector is conditionally disabled and instead the component is internally fixed to ground.
