French term or phrase: solidariser en rotation
The context is a turbomachine low-pressure shaft. Is this simply 'rotatably connects'? Or does it fix the rotation between the two?

Le manchon d’accouplement solidarise en rotation l’armature avec l’arbre basse pression et le tronçon d’arbre.

English translation:couple in rotation
Explanation:
or "couple rotationally", or "lock rotationally".
The simplest device of this type is a splined coupling (see reference): the two parts are coupled rotationally (and thus can only rotate together) but not axially (so they can move one versus the other lengthwise).

clamp rotationally


Explanation:
- rather than 'rotatably' and, splitting the infinitive to irk translation agency nit-pickers, 'to rotationally clamp'.

Example sentence(s):
  • A rotation clamping mechanism includes a rotating member and at least two engagement members that are attached to the rotating member and transmit rotational power.

constrained to rotate with


Explanation:
I understand this to mean that the "armature" is forced by the "manchon d’accouplement" to rotate together with "l’arbre basse pression et le tronçon d’arbre". In other words, they can rotate together but not independently of each other.
