Q

Define: Clearance fit

A

A clearance fit means the shaft will always fit into the mating hole. In other words, the diameter of the shaft will always be smaller that the diameter of the mating hole, even if both parts are at MMC.

Q

Define: Interference fit

A

An interference fit is the opposite of the clearance fit. The diameter of the shaft will always be larger that the diameter of the mating hole, even when the shaft is as small as it can be and the mating hole is as large as it can be.

Q

Define: Transition fit

A

A transition fit means the mating parts may have some clearance or some interference when assembled. At MMC there is interference between the parts, but when the parts are less than MMC there will be a smaller degree of interference or have some degree of clearance between the parts.
