Shaft
Component kindshaft(categorymech, DSL nameshaft, API v1)
Cylindrical rotating axle. Typically anchors one or more gears via mech.couple so they spin together.
Parameters
- `diameter` — Outer diameter (mm).
- `length` — Length along the local Z axis (mm).
Parameters schema
| Parameter | Type | Default | Constraints |
|---|---|---|---|
diameter | Number | 20 | |
length | Number | 300 | |
color | String | — |
Ports
| Port | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
axis | rotational | Rotational port aligned with the shaft Z axis. |
Kinematics
Passive — no propagation rule of its own. Downstream state is set by whatever connection (typically mech.couple) links to its axis port.
Example
shaft "S1" {
diameter: 20
length: 300
at: position(0, 0, 0) rotation(0, 0, 0)
