Shaft (mechanical engineering)
ID: shaft-mechanical-engineering
In mechanical engineering, a **shaft** is a long, cylindrical component that is used to transmit power and rotational motion from one part of a machine to another. Shafts are crucial elements in many mechanical systems, especially in machines such as motors, generators, turbines, and other rotating equipment. They can also be found in vehicles, where they transfer power from the engine to the wheels.
