English term or phrase: Yoke housing on way shafts.
This is from a manual on a scorer/slotter, part of a machine that makes blanks for cardboard boxes. What is a "way shaft" and what it is in Portuguese?

Explanation:
"Yoke" suggests a Y-shaped, or double, support element and I'm not sure of the term for this in PT. (Check "yoke housing" in Google Images - but there are also plenty if images of housing that is not double - maybe it just means "going around").

And I think the "way" in "way shafts" has no very special technical meaning, otherwise it would be easy to find on Google. There is nothing in the additional context you posted to suggest anything special about thses shafts, so I think it can be safely translated as "eixos". So I offer the translation above as a possible suggestion.

The FreeDictionary offers this definition of "way":
"11. often ways A longitudinal strip on a surface that serves to guide a moving machine part."

So "way" could imply that these shafts are guide shafts for moving parts, and this fits in well with the additional context. In which case, the suggested translation would become "casa de mancal nos eixos guias".
