Axles are used to transmit power (as generated by a windmill or water wheel) over a distance. There are two types: vertical axles move power between z-levels, while horizontal axles move it north, south, east or west within a given level. Axles consume 1 unit of power per tile.

Construction
Axles are constructed via the machine components screen: b-M-h for horizontal, b-M-v for vertical.
Horizontal axles require wood to construct: one log for 1-3 tiles length, two for 4-7, or three for 8-10. Horizontal axles run East-West by default, but can be built oriented North-South. Vertical axles require one log for every z-level. As they are made of wood, axles are NOT magma-proof, except for those made of nether-cap.
Changing direction requires a gear assembly at the corner between two perpendicular axles, whether they are horizontal and vertical, or N-S horizontal and E-W horizontal.
Floor tiles will obstruct the transfer of power over z-levels, so channels need to be dug through every floor through which a vertical axle passes. (It is not possible to build a vertical axle through stairs.)
Axles do not block unit movement and can be crossed by dwarves without being spooled around them. But keep in mind that digging channels for a vertical axle usually results in a hole that cannot be crossed.
