Press fitting is a fastening method that provides a robust joint at a low cost, so it is widely used in industrial products. In the press-fitting processes, quality control is commonly practiced by measuring the press-fit force and height, but quality problems still occur, such as press-fit force out of tolerance and cracks in press-fit parts(molded parts). One reason for these problems is that appropriate press-fitting conditions have not been determined in the design stage. In this study, we performed a parameter design focused on the relationship between lateral pressure applied to a shaft and displacement of the shaft, and attempted to optimize the press-fitting conditions for molded parts. a
