axially
Through the middle
Axially means along or in relation to an axis—an imaginary line around which something rotates or is symmetrically arranged.
The term appears most often in technical and scientific contexts: The turbine blades are mounted axially along the shaft.
Components described as axially aligned share a common central axis, while axial forces act parallel to that axis rather than perpendicular to it.
