Nyongolotsi ndi tsinde la cylindrical, la ulusi lomwe limadulidwa pamwamba pake.Giya ya nyongolotsi ndi gudumu lokhala ndi mano lomwe limalumikizana ndi nyongolotsi, kutembenuza kusuntha kwa nyongolotsi kukhala kusuntha kwa mzere wa giya.Mano pa giya nyongolotsi amadulidwa pa ngodya yomwe ikugwirizana ndi ngodya ya helical groove pa nyongolotsi.

Mu makina amphero, nyongolotsi ndi nyongolotsi zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kuwongolera kusuntha kwa mutu wamphero kapena tebulo.Nyongolotsi nthawi zambiri imayendetsedwa ndi mota, ndipo ikazungulira, imalumikizana ndi mano a giya ya nyongolotsi, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti zida ziyende.Kusuntha kumeneku nthawi zambiri kumakhala kolondola kwambiri, kulola kuyika bwino mutu wa mphero kapena tebulo.

Ubwino umodzi wogwiritsa ntchito nyongolotsi ndi nyongolotsi m'makina ogaya ndikuti umapereka mwayi wapamwamba wamakina, kulola injini yaying'ono kuyendetsa nyongolotsiyo ndikukwaniritsa kuyenda bwino.Kuphatikiza apo, chifukwa mano a giya ya nyongolotsi amalumikizana ndi nyongolotsi pakona yozama, pali mikangano yochepa komanso kuvala pazigawo zake, zomwe zimapangitsa moyo wautali wautumiki wa dongosolo.
