ANSI B4.

1 - 1967(1979), R1974 Standard Fit Designations

ANSI B4.1 Standard arranged fits classes in three general groups according to the field and type of usage. Standard fits are designated by
means of some symbols which facilitate reference to classes of fits to get better understanding. The symbols are not intended to be shown
on the manufacturing detail drawings, only sizes should be specified on the detail drawings.

1-) Running or Sliding Fits [RC]

2-) Locational Fits [LC, LT, LN]. This standard can be explained in three groups.

a-) Clearance Locational Fits [LC]

b-) Transition Locational Fits [LT]

c-) Interference Locational Fits [LN]

3-) Force or Shrink Fits [FN]

These letter symbols RC, LC, LT, LN, and FN are used with numbers representing the fit class. like RC4 represent class 4. One of these
symbols "with two letter and one number" represent a complete fit. This fit can be interference, in and max clearance, and limits of sizes for
mating parts.

1-) Running And Sliding Fits (RC):

Running and Sliding fits ranges are designated with RC1 to RC9.Throughout the range of the sizes limits of clearance for this fit are intended
to provide a running performance with suitable lubrication allowance. Loosest of the class fits, used when a shaft is must move freely inside a
hole or bearing, and the positioning of the shaft is not critical in this fit like sliding gears and clutch disks, pivots, running and sliding fits of
shafts, guiding bushings, pistons of hydraulic machines, etc. There are nine such fits RC1 to RC9. The lower RC numbers are the tighter
fits, the higher numbers are the looser fits. RC1 to RC9 Fits may be described as follows;

RC1; Close Sliding Fits: This kind of fits are intended for the accurate location of parts which must assemble without noticeable play.

RC2; Sliding Fits: This kind of fits are intended for the accurate location but with greater maximum clearance than class RC1. Parts made to
this fit turn and move easily. This type is not designed for free run. Sliding fits in larger sizes may seize with small temperature changes.

RC3; Precision Running Fits: This kind of fits are about the closest fits which can be expected to run freely. Precision running fits are
intended for precision work at low speed, low bearing pressures, and light journal pressures. RC3 is not suitable where noticeable
temperature differences occur.
RC4; Close Running Fits: This kind of fits are mostly for running fits on accurate machinery with moderate surface speed, bearing
pressures, and journal pressures where accurate location and minimum play are desired. This kind of fits also can be described as smaller
clearances with higher requirements for precision fit.

RC5 and R6; Medium Running Fits: This kind of fits are designed for machines running at higher running speeds, considerable bearing
pressures, and heavy journal pressure. This kind of fits also can be described with greater clearances with common requirements for fit
precision.

RC7; Free Running Fits: This kind of fits are intended to use where accuracy is not essential. It is suitable for great temperature variations.
This fits are suitable to use without any special requirements for precise guiding of shafts.

RC8 and RC9; Loose Running Fits: This kind of fits are intended for use where wide commercial tolerances may be required on the shaft.
With this fits, The parts with great clearances with having great tolerances. Loose running fits exposed to effects of corrosion, contamination
by dust and thermal or mechanical deformations.

Running and Sliding Limits and Fits For Cylindrical Parts

[(ANSI B4.1-1967,R1987)]

All limits shown in chart below are in thousandths of an inches. Symbols H5,g5, etc. are Shaft and Hole designations used in American-
British-Canadian System (ABC). Limits for Shaft and Hole are applied algebraically to the Nominal (basic) size to obtain the limits of the size
for the parts. All data given in bold in the chart below are in accordance with ABC agreements. The values given under the "Clearance Limits
Column" represent min and max amounts of clearance resulting from application of standard tolerance limits.
