English to Italian Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering

E' corretto in questo contesto il termine "asse a gomito"? Qui "axle" non potrebbe essere inteso come "albero"? Non ho mai incontrato questo termine in inglese e mi sta un po' disorientando...
"In consequence of the high values for axle tension and current in the generator axle occurred flashover between the engine bearings and the crank axle, and that has conducted to various damages. Within the current cycle was damaged primary the engine floating bearing while the roller bearing of a generator maintains a current flow."
Grazie!
