shrink fit

Typically this was for the shrink-fitting of components such as large crankpins in crankshafts or flywheels.

As a result, each bearing must be made and finish-ground individually; then assembled into a built-up crankshaft, usually by shrink-fitting.

Other methods of shrink-fitting include compression shrink fitting, which uses a cryogen such as liquid nitrogen to cool the insert, and shape memory coupling, which is achieved by means of a phase transition.

The sleeves can be pressed into place, or they can be held in by a shrink fit.

When the engine block cools down it shrink fits around the sleeve holding it into place.

Then the next hoop (either B2 or C1) is similarly heated so the assembled A tube and B1 jacket can be lowered into position for a successive shrink fit.
