German term or phrase: Passverbindung
In my specific context, there are two elements: Zapfen und Langloch, which form this "Passverbindung".

Have done some research. Here are some relevant contexts:

Formschlüssige Nabenverbindungen (Beispiele)

Passverbindung
Leicht lösbare und verschiebbare Verbindung zur Aufnahme richtungskonstanter Drehmomente.
Verbindungsbeispiele: Riemenscheiben, Kupplungen, Zahnräder.
Gagen axiales Verschieben ist eine zusätzliche Sicherung vorzusehen
(Wellenbund, Axialsicherungsring).
Gleitpassfedern werden zum Beispiel bei Verschieberädern in Getrieben verwendet.

Die untere Kugel- hälfte 36 ist fest mit der Radachse 22 verbunden. Die obere Kugelhälfte 38 ist an der Schubstange befestigt. Sie hat eine Passverbindung, z. B. Vierkant, mit der Torsionsachse 48

By way of contrast:
Grundsätzlich kann eine solche Befestigung an der Nietkopfaußenseite mit allen möglichen Befestigungselementen realisiert werden, also beispielsweise als Steckbefestigung, als Klebebefestigung, als Clipverbindung, als Passverbindung oder in jedweder anderen denkbaren Halterungsweise.

die zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Halteelemente (30, 30'; 32, 32'; 76, 76'; 30, 110; 120, 120'; 122, 122') oder Klemmelemente (224, 230) mittels einer Schraub-, Steck-, Schnapp-, Rast-, Kleb- und Pass- oder dergleichenverbindung miteinander lösbar verbunden sind.

Question is though: what do we say for Passverbindung in English?

friction-grip connection


Explanation:
Looks like a possibility.

GVP
German abbreviation for close-tolerance friction-grip connection with preload (gleitfeste, planmäßig vorgespannte Passverbindung). The load-carrying capacity is higher than that of a standard friction-grip connection without close-tolerance bolt. The application of a preload makes additional retainers superfluous.

Asker: Thank you for your suggestion. I suppose it iwll be close-tolerance. I thought, in the end, that it was important to incorporate the "fit" aspect, so I went for that one.
