conical bolting


Explanation:
I haven't "connected" all the dots (sorry for the pun), but I think Siemens probably knows what this is called in English. Compare the Swedish and English versions at the respective links.

interference fit


Explanation:
"Med en snabb utveckling inom flygplansteknologin och behovet av att reparera aluminium och komposit strukturer är ofta användningen av ***interferance fit (passförband)*** önskvärd i områden utsatta för hög utmattning. Monogram's Radial-Lok® möter dessa önskemål och är det ända fästelement i dess slag som motsvarar detta och som uppnår full radiell expansion i ett frigångshål."

http://www.bufab.com/bix/OurProducts/Products/Rivets/Aerospa...

"An interference fit, also known as a press fit or friction fit,[1] is a fastening between two parts which is achieved by friction after the parts are pushed together, rather than by any other means of fastening."

tight fit bolted connection


Explanation:
Normally, holes in structural parts that are to be joined by bolting are drilled with a diameter that is 1-2 mm larger than the bolt shank diameter. If no slip of the connection can be tolerated, the diameter of the holes must be less than 0,5 mm larger than the bolt shank.
