Thank you very much
Some more examples of good friction:
1) The friction between swingarm and bearings assembly, which prevents the rear wheel from sliding back and forth due to breaking and the pull of the chain, keeping the proper alignment.
That friction is proportional to the torque applied onto the axle-nut.
2) The friction between the handle of the cockpit and the exterior washer and internal neoprene disc, which keeps it in the position that we have selected.
3) The interference or press fit between the outer ring of the bearings and the aluminum casing of the wheels, crankcase, etc.

4) Blade type male-female electrical connectors.
