Recall Matl Condition Modifiers


Maximum Material Condition (MMC) M
the condition in which a feature of size contains the maximum amount of material everywhere within the stated limits of size.

Least Material Condition (LMC) L


the condition in which a feature of size contains the least amount of material everywhere within the stated limits of size

Regardless of Feature Size (RFS) S


indicates a geometric tolerance applies at whatever size the part is produced

Material Condition Usage


MMC
usually when geometric tolerances are applied at MMC the function is assembly

LMC
function is usually to insure that a minimum distance on a part is maintained

RFS Default Condition


often specified to insure symmetrical relationships No Bonus Tolerance allowed

MMC Bonus Tolerance


Maximum material condition for a HOLE feature is the SMALLEST sized hole. Maximum material condition for a SHAFT feature is the LARGEST shaft. The maximum material condition modifier in a feature control frame means that the tolerance applies at max. material condition.
If the actual hole is LARGER than the smallest allowable hole, a BONUS tolerance can be added to the stated tolerance value.

MMC Bonus Tolerance cont


Then the Tolerance Zone at MMC Shown at Right The actual center of the hole (axis) must lie in the round tolerance zone. The same tolerance is applied, regardless of the lateral direction.
i.e., The Tolerance Zone is Circular, NOT Rectangular
Same tolerance at 0, 45, 90 Measurement angles

MMC Bonus Tolerance cont.2


Recall The GD&T Spec

This means that the tolerance is .010 if the hole size is the MMC size, or .497. If the hole is bigger, we get a bonus tolerance equal to the difference between the MMC size and the actual size.

Gage Fixture Design


As the Part Design Engineer We find that Parts that FIT & WORK in the Assembly are Being REJECTED by RI (Receiving Inspection)
Discover that RI does Not Understand Bonus Tolerances

To Avoid Scraping Good Parts, Work with a High precision Machine shop to make a Gage Fixture
Gage Pin Precisely Located at (2, 0.75) Gage Pin Precisely Machined to 0.4965
A bit Less than Lo-Lim on Hole-Size; i.e., at the MMC

MMC Bonus Tolerance


This means that the tolerance is .010 IF the hole size is at the MMC, or 0.497. If the hole is BIGGER, we get a BONUS tolerance equal to the difference between the MMC Actual Hole Size size and the .497 (MMC) actual size. .499

GD&T Caveat Use with Care


GDT is VERY Powerful, BUTIt can be Quite CONFUSING and ESOTERIC Many Degreed Engineers, as well as Most Drafters/Designers (and Some Machinists) have only a Vague Notion About Meaning of GDT Symbols
MisApplication and Confusion-Induced Delays are COMMON
e.g. Try asking what MMC or RFS means

Go, NoGo, and Go-NoGo Gages


The Gage we Designed is Necessary but NOT sufficient However if part DOES Fit, it COULD Still be BAD
e.g., If The hole is LARGER than 0.503 it could easily fit the gage

i.e., if part does NOT fit the Gage, Then REJECT it

Thus our Gage is a NoGo Instrument

Bruce Mayer, PE
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu ENGR-22_Lec-19_GDT_Bonus-Tol-1.ppt

Complete Go-NoGo Gaging


To Complete the Gage Set, We need to design a Precision Gage-PIN to Test for OverSize Holes This is Also a NoGo Gage
If the Pin FITS in the Hole, Then it is REJECTED

Thus we have a GO When the Part


Fits in the Gage Block (Position & Small Hole) Does NOT Fit the Pin (Large Hole)

All Done for Today The AME and Bonus Tol.

If a hole, for instance, has the following size and geometric control, and the hole measures .502. It would be incorrect to use a bonus tolerance of .003 (.502 - .499(MMC)) if the hole is not perfectly oriented to the Datums. If the hole is out of perpendicular to datum A by .002, for instance, the bonus that may be used is reduced by that amount. The bonus would be merely .001 and the allowable position tolerance = .016.
