French translation:une pluralité de lignes d'arbres
Explanation:
In power generation, we often use 'ligne d'arbre' to distinguish the physical object that is the 'shaft' from the ensemble of the embodiment that is a 'shaft line' (= the whole thing)
And here, although we might use 'multi' or 'multiple' in FR, I think the idea of 'more than one' or 'several' might be best conveyed by 'pluralité'? Mind you, why should we rule out 'plusieurs'?

Yesterday I could only copy the link to IATE. Today I quote it completely so that the content is evident and supplement it with further references.

Un ensemble d’arbre de transmission flexible transmet le mouvement de rotation de la même manière qu’un arbre rigide, mais il peut être acheminé au-dessus, au-dessous et autour d’obstacles rendant l’utilisation d’un arbre rigide impraticable. Un « ensemble d’arbre de transmission flexible » consiste en un arbre rotatif (parfois appelé noyau) avec des raccords pour la fixation aux pièces d’accouplement entraînées et motrices. Une gaine extérieure de protection est utilisée si nécessaire. Cette gaine possède ses propres raccords, appelés viroles, qui la maintiennent immobile pendant l’utilisation. Un arbre de transmission flexible est un moyen très efficace de transmettre un mouvement rotatif et est plus efficace que les cardans, les engrenages, les pignons et les chaînes ou les courroies et les poulies.

Un arbre de transmission ou arbre à cardan, est un composant de véhicule servant à transmettre la puissance mécanique et le couple et la rotation, généralement utilisé pour connecter d'autres composants d'une transmission qui ne peut pas être connectée directement en raison de la distance ou de la nécessité de permettre un mouvement relatif entre elles.
