2. Flexible shaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_shaft

   flexible shaft tool. 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 another. It consists of a rotating wire rope or coil which is flexible but has some torsional stiffness. It may or may not have a covering, which also bends but does not rotate.

3. Coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling

   A gear coupling. A gear coupling is a mechanical device for transmitting torque between two shafts that are not collinear. It consists of a flexible joint fixed to each shaft. The two joints are connected by a third shaft, called the spindle. Each joint consists of a 1:1 gear ratio internal/external gear pair.

4. Rotary tool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_tool

   Rotary tool. A pneumatic die grinder with a right-angle head. A cordless battery-powered rotary tool used for light tasks. A die grinder or rotary tool is a handheld power tool and multitool used for grinding, sanding, honing, polishing, or machining material (typically metal, but also plastic or wood). All such tools are conceptually similar ...

5. Constant-velocity joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-velocity_joint

   Constant-velocity joint. A constant-velocity joint (also called a CV joint and homokinetic joint) is a mechanical coupling which 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 certain range, to maintain the same velocity.

6. Universal joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_joint

   A universal joint. A universal joint (also called a universal coupling or U-joint) is a joint or coupling connecting rigid shafts whose axes are inclined to each other. It is commonly used in shafts that transmit rotary motion. It consists of a pair of hinges located close together, oriented at 90° to each other, connected by a cross shaft.

7. Broaching (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broaching_(metalworking)

   Broaching is a machining process that uses a toothed tool, called a broach, to remove material. There are two main types of broaching: linear and rotary. In linear broaching, which is the more common process, the broach is run linearly against a surface of the workpiece to produce the cut. Linear broaches are used in a broaching machine, which ...
