Abstract:
A method for creating a releasable joint between two components, in which one of the components is elastically deformed by radial compressive forces in such a way that its effective inner circumferential contour corresponds to an effective outer circumferential contour of the other component with a predefined clearance, so that the two components can be inserted one into the other thereby fitting them together; and in which, after the two components have been fitted together, a compressive joint is created by the fact that the deformed component is elastically deformed back by reducing or discontinuing the radial compressive forces, the method comprising the steps of providing a hollow body as the elastically deformable component having multiple cavities in its wall; and exerting the radial compressive forces on one effective circumferential contour of the hollow body located opposite the effective inner circumferential contour in such a way that working lines of the radial compressive forces, considered in the circumferential direction, run approximately centeredly through the cavities.
