Tolerances

Introduction
tolerancing
technique of dimensioning parts within a required range of variation to ensure interchangeability

A tolerance should be as large as possible without interfering with the function of the part to minimize production costs.

tolerance - difference between the
limits of size for a single feature ; shaft .0025 ; hole .0040

limits of tolerance the max and


min sizes of a single feature

allowance the tightest fit between


two mating parts ; .0050

nominal size the general size of


a shaft or hole ; 1.5

basic size the size to which the


plus-and minus is applied

actual size the measured size of


the finished part

fit - the degree of tightness or


looseness between two assembled parts

Cylindrical Fits English Units


clearance fit interference fit a binding fit
that requires the parts to be forced together, much as if they were welded

transition fit may range from


a interference fit to a clearance fit between the mated parts

line fit results in surface


contact or clearance when limits are reached
