"Friction fit" refers to a type of joint or connection that is created between two components by means of friction. A joint or connection that is formed using a friction fit may or may not include the use of additional fasteners such as screws, bolts, or adhesives. In a friction fit, the components are designed or configured to fit tightly together, creating enough friction between the surfaces to hold them securely in place, at least temporarily. The friction force is generated by the compressive force that experienced between the components, and can be strong enough to prevent the components from separating under normal conditions.
