Isikelemu kanye negiya lemishini yokugaya Isibungu siyishafi eyisilinda, enentambo esikwe phezu kwayo indawo enesinqe. Iigiya lezikelemuiyisondo elinamazinyo elihlangana nesikelemu, liguqule ukunyakaza kwesibungu kube ukunyakaza okuqondile kwegiya. Amazinyo egiyeni lezikelemu asikwa nge-engeli ehambisana ne-engeli ye-helical groove esibungwini.
Emshinini wokugaya, igiya lezikelemu nezikelemu zisetshenziselwa ukulawula ukunyakaza kwekhanda lokugaya noma itafula. Isibungu ngokuvamile sishayelwa injini, futhi njengoba siphenduka, sihlangana namazinyo egiya lezikelemu, okwenza igiya lihambe. Lokhu kunyakaza kuvame ukunemba kakhulu, okuvumela ukuma okunembile kwekhanda lokugaya noma itafula.
Enye inzuzo yokusebenzisa isikelemu kanye negiya lezikelemu emishinini yokugaya ukuthi inikeza izinga eliphezulu lenzuzo yomshini, okuvumela injini encane ukushayela isibungu kuyilapho ifinyelela ukunyakaza okuqondile. Ukwengeza, ngoba amazinyo isibunguigiya thintana nesikelemu endaweni engashoni, kunokungqubuzana okuncane nokuguga kwezakhi, isondo lezikelemu kanye nesondo lezikelemu okuholela empilweni ende yesevisi yesistimu.
