Understanding the Types of Fit in Engineering: Clearance, Transition, and Interference

In engineering, the term “fit” describes the relationship between two mating parts, such as a shaft and a hole. The way these parts interact—whether they fit snugly together, move freely, or press into one another—is crucial to the performance and functionality of the mechanical system.  The correct fit ensures that parts function optimally, whether they […]
