The dictionary gives - crankshaft - but I suspect this is not an element of a printing press. Can anyone confirm my suspiscions and come up with a better term?

"Tanto la robusta mesa portamatrices construida en Acero de 100 kg./cm.2, como el cigueñal forma un paquete soportado por columnas, el cual en el momento del compactado mantienen en una gran rigidez"

cranckshaft
See the definition provided by the Chambers' "Diccionario Científico y Tecnológico":
Cigueñal = cranckshaft [el árbol principal de un motor u otra máquina, siempre que lleve uno o varios codos para la unión de otras tantas bielas de conexión]
It seems that cranckshaft fits in this context.
