Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Tyre-cutting machine parts
French term or phrase: Axe de l’arbre
Froma a list of machine parts - the full phrase is:

Axe de l’arbre du volant supérieur

...the 'volant supérieur' in this case being the upper wheel of a band saw used to cut tyres.

My confusion lies between the meanings of 'axe' and 'arbre', both of which can actually mean 'shaft'. I know that 'axe' can also mean 'axle' and that it has a range of other meanings, depending on context. I was wondering what it means in this particular context. I mean, could it be 'axle shaft' or possibly 'shaft axle' = and what is the difference? I am picturing the wheel - unfortunately I have no diagram, so I have to imagine it. To give extra context, the list in which it appears is as follows:

Coulisseau
Axe de l’arbre du volant supérieur
Vérin hydraulique ISO6020/2 fixation MS2
Bride porte joint (identique des deux cotés)
Boitard d’étanchéité (identique des deux cotés)
Joint à lèvres
Joint à double lèvres
Entretoise avant
Moyeu du volant inférieur
Clavette
Arbre de transmission
Roulement à rotule sur rouleaux
Poulie réceptrice à moyeu S6543Ø42
Entretoise arrière
Clavette
Roulement à rouleaux
Courroie (x3)
Poulie motrice à moyeu S5040Ø42
Moteur d’entraînement

If anyone could shed any light on what is the likely translation, I would be most grateful.

Thanks
