Ken Cox
: maybe, but this is an item in a transmission, which does not seem to fit the context here

yoked shaft
From the following references, it is likely that the item in question is a shaft with a yoke at one end (with the yoke forming part of a flexible joint):

As for the translation, it might be better to say 'drive... via a shaft and flexible joint/coupling' instead of '... via a yoked shaft'.

Considering advances in technology and home offices, wouldn't it be a good idea to be able to upload scanner/screen shots of our client's ref material for Proz members to have a look at? (without breaching confidentiality of course)
