driveshafts
Rotating power conduits
Driveshafts are rotating mechanical shafts that transmit torque from an engine to the wheels or other driven components.
In rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the driveshaft runs from the transmission to the rear axle: The mechanic said the vibration was coming from a worn driveshaft.
Industrial machinery uses driveshafts to transfer power between disconnected assemblies.
