Interference Fit
An interference fit, also known as a pressed fit or friction fit is a form of fastening between two ''tight'' fitting mating parts that produces a joint which is held together by friction after the parts are pushed together. Depending on the amount of interference, parts may be joined using a tap from a hammer or ''pressed'' together using a hydraulic ram. Critical components that must not sustain damage during joining may also be cooled significantly below room temperature to shrink one of the components before fitting. This method allows the components to be joined without force and producing a shrink fit interference when the component returns to normal temperature. Interference fits are commonly used with aircraft fasteners to improve the fatigue life of a joint. Introducing interference between parts These fits, though applicable to shaft and hole assembly, are more often used for bearing-housing or bearing-shaft assembly. Tightness of fit The tightness of fit is con ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Modular Smartphones
A modular smartphone is a smartphone made using components that can be independently upgraded or replaced as modular design, modules. This aims to reduce electronic waste, lower repair costs and increase user comfort. The most important component is the main board, to which others (such as phone camera, cameras or Battery (electricity), batteries) are attached. These are packaged in easy-to-remove modules which can be replaced as needed without having to Rework (electronics), rework the soldering. Components could be obtained from open-source hardware stores. History Desktop computers housed in tower cases can easily swap parts such as hard drives, memory, and graphics cards. Among early mobile devices, the Handspring Visor PDA had a Springboard Expansion Slot which could give it the capabilities such as a phone, Global Positioning System, GPS, a modem, or a camera - but only one at a time. The Israeli startup Modu in 2008 created a phone and screen core that could be added to va ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
