Press fit, also known as interference fit, is a fastening method where two parts are joined by forcing one part into a slightly smaller hole in the other. The interference creates a tight, secure connection due to friction and deformation of the materials. It is commonly used in mechanical engineering to assemble components without the need for fasteners like screws or welds. Common uses include bearings in housings, gears on shafts, and pins in holes.
