Definitions:

Transitional Fit

A type of fit between two mating parts where interference may or may not occur, allowing for a balance between clearance and interference fits.

Clearance

The intentional space or gap between two parts or components, necessary to ensure proper fit, movement, or function.

Interference

A condition where two parts intentionally have dimensions that prevent them from fitting together unless deformation occurs, ensuring a tight fit.

Mating Parts

Components designed to fit together in a specific manner to perform a function within an assembly.
