A drive shaft, driveshaft, driving shaft, tailshaft (Australian English), propeller shaft (prop shaft), or Cardan shaft (after Girolamo Cardano) is a...

engine, and transmitting it to an application such as an attached implement or separate machine. Most commonly, it is a splined drive shaft installed on...

A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. The primary purpose of couplings is to...

mechanical engineering, a shaft is a rotating machine element, usually circular in cross section, which is used to transmit power from one part to another...

general, a jackshaft is any shaft that is used as an intermediary transmitting power from a driving shaft to a driven shaft. The oldest uses of the term...

shaft or shafts in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Shaft may refer to: Shaft (mechanical engineering), a rotating machine element used to transmit power...

A shaft-driven bicycle is a bicycle that uses a drive shaft instead of a chain to transmit power from the pedals to the wheel. Shaft drives were introduced...

An axle or axletree is a central shaft for a rotating wheel or gear. On wheeled vehicles, the axle may be fixed to the wheels, rotating with them, or...

A flexible shaft, often referred to as a flex shaft, is a device for transmitting rotary motion between two objects which are not fixed relative to one...

allows the shafts to rotate freely (without an appreciable increase in friction or backlash) and compensates for the angle between the two shafts, within...

A line shaft is a power-driven rotating shaft for power transmission that was used extensively from the Industrial Revolution until the early 20th century...

motorcycles, tracked vehicles, and other machinery either to transmit rotary motion between two shafts where gears are unsuitable or to impart linear motion...

worried they may have a sexually transmitted infection (especially genital warts) or some form of cancer. On the shaft of the penis, Fordyce spots are...

encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to analog or digital...

thrust bearing used in ships, to resist the thrust of the propeller shaft and transmit it to the hull. Early screw-propelled steamships used a thrust block...

to link two or more rotating shafts mechanically, most often parallel. Belts may be used as a source of motion, to transmit power efficiently or to track...

at opposite ends of the vehicle and so requiring a long propeller shaft or drive shaft. The operating speed of the engine and wheels are also different...

input shaft by a certain ratio. Cycloidal speed reducers are capable of relatively high ratios in compact sizes with very low backlash. The input shaft drives...

not all, of the oil gravitates when the output shaft is stalled. This reduces the "drag" on the input shaft, resulting in reduced fuel consumption when idling...

An idler-wheel is a wheel which serves only to transmit rotation from one shaft to another, in applications where it is undesirable to connect them directly...
