Revising my suggestion to "moving shaft" based on http://www.rlhudson.com/Shaft Seal Book/design-shaft9.html, "rotating" is too specific without additional context.

drive shaft


Explanation:
It does not sound like a proper part, it's more like a heading of a list of axles or st (like output shaft = ulosottoakseli, half shaft = vetoakseli and rotor shaft = roottoriakseli).

This is the best suggestion I could find. It is in fact käyttöakseli, pääakseli, käyttävä akseli or ohjausakseli, but 'drive shaft' transmits motion to a machine, anyway : )

linear drive unit


Explanation:
They seem to translate the robotics term 'linear drive unit' as 'liikeakseli' in Finnish.

For instance you find one Yamaha Robotics unit in English here:

and the same in Finnish here:
