  1. crank handle

    A crank handle is a mechanical device designed to convert rotational motion into linear movement or vice versa. It is usually made of durable material like metal and consists of an arm attached to a rotating shaft with a knob or handle at the end for manual operation. The arm allows the user to apply a force at a distance from the shaft, reducing the effort needed to turn or rotate the shaft. This device is commonly found in machines, tools, or systems that require manual operation, such as a manual pencil sharpener, a car jack, or a well pump.
