What is Press Fit Pressure?

Press fit pressure is the pressure exerted when two parts are pressed together. It is calculated by dividing the press fit force by the total contact area. This measurement is important in engineering and manufacturing to ensure that parts fit together with the correct amount of force, ensuring proper functionality and durability.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ Pfit = \frac{500}{2} = 250 \, \text{psi} \]

The Press Fit Pressure is 250 psi.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ Pfit = \frac{1000}{4} = 250 \, \text{psi} \]

The Press Fit Pressure is 250 psi.
