mainshaft
Primary rotating rod
A mainshaft is the principal rotating shaft in a machine, especially in a gearbox or transmission.
In automotive contexts, it's the shaft that carries the gears and transmits power from the engine to the drivetrain: The mainshaft bearing needs replacement.
Industrial machinery and mining equipment also have mainshafts as central components.
