Magiya a Cylindrical ndi gawo lofunikira pamakina otumizira mphamvu zamakina, odziwika chifukwa champhamvu, kuphweka, komanso kusinthasintha. Magiyawa amakhala ndi mano ooneka ngati cylindrical omwe amalumikizana kuti asunthire kuyenda ndi mphamvu pakati pa mitsinje yolumikizana kapena yodutsana.
Chimodzi mwazabwino zazikulu zamagiya a cylindrical ndi kuthekera kwawo kufalitsa mphamvu bwino komanso mwakachetechete, kuwapangitsa kukhala abwino pazogwiritsa ntchito zosiyanasiyana, kuchokera pamagalimoto kupita kumakina ogulitsa mafakitale. Amapezeka m'masinthidwe osiyanasiyana, kuphatikiza ma giya a spur, magiya a helical, ndi magiya apawiri a helical, chilichonse chimapereka maubwino apadera kutengera zomwe mukufuna.
