Best Answer

When assembling two parts, if the shaft is larger then the hole, you then get an interference because the shaft won't fit. A clearance fit is an assembly where a part enters a matching hole with a slightly larger diameter for easy joining or easy removal.

Difference between clearence fit transiton fit and interference fit?

clearance Fit - if the clearance is more between the mating parts then it is known as clearance fit. Transition Fit- If the clearance is less between the mating parts then it is known as Transition fit Interference Fit- If the mating parts are fouling or interfering.then it is known as Interference Fit


What is fit in mechanical engineering?

Fit refers to how tight the clearance is between a shaft and hole. Fits range from loose, free, medium, transitional to interference fit. In metric the system ranges from E6 being very loose to R7 tight interference fit.


What is the clearance fit?

A clearance fit is an a assembly where there is a space between the two parts. The shaft is always smaller than the part it fits into.

What is an interference fit when machining?

An example of an "interference fit" is when you have a pin that needs to go into a slightly smaller hole. The difference may be only 2/1000 inch (machinists measure parts in thousandths of an inch). In this case, the pin won't just slide into the hole, but needs to be forced, usually with a devise called a "press." . The usual purpose of an interference fit is to join two mating parts together in a way that they won't come apart without having to use other, more normal, fastening methods. For an elementary example of an interference fit and purpose, if you drive a nail half-way into a wall so you can hang something onto the part of the nail that sticks out of the wall, there is an "interference fit" between the nail and the new hole in the wall that the nail made.
