Brazilians use to toggle between synonyms, no doubt it is a crankshaft, apart from virabrequim there is no other eixo de manivela in an engine. There are just two, camshaft (eixo/árvore de comando) and crankshaft (virabrequim/eixo de manivelas). Nick's got it right.

Need to know.... references to "virabrequim" and "eixo de manivelas" to define difference.
