Axiális

Axiális is the Hungarian adjective meaning axial. It describes anything related to an axis, a central line around which something rotates or is organized. The term traces to Latin axis through Greek axia and is widely used in science, engineering, biology and related fields to indicate direction, position or symmetry along a primary axis.

In geometry and physics, axiális concepts include axial symmetry, where an object remains unchanged by rotations around a fixed axis, and the idea of an axis itself as a reference line. “Axiális” is often used to describe features aligned with this line, such as an axial plane or axial direction.

In engineering, axial refers to forces, displacements, or machining tolerances oriented along the axis of a component, such as an axial load on a shaft, axial alignment of parts, or axial play in joints. It contrasts with radial or transverse directions that are perpendicular to the axis.

In biology and anatomy, the term is used in the phrase axial skeleton, consisting of the skull, vertebral column, ribs and sternum, and contrasts with the appendicular skeleton that supports limbs. The concept emphasizes central or longitudinal structure rather than appendages.

In astronomy and earth sciences, axial concepts include axial tilt (the obliquity of a planet relative to its orbital plane) and axial rotation, describing spin around an axis. The exact meaning of “axiális” depends on context, but it generally signals a relation to an axis.
