Definition
A wheel with handles or grips designed to be turned by hand to control or adjust something, such as a valve or machinery.
Etymology
Compound of 'hand' and 'wheel.' This machine component design allows manual operation of equipment without requiring powered controls.
Kelly Says
A handwheel on an old lathe is brilliant engineering—it lets one person manually control heavy machinery with just hand-turning pressure, and the gear ratios multiply your force so you can move massive weights without power tools.
