1. A medium force fit on a 75 mm shaft requires a hole tolerance and shaft tolerance
each equal to .225 mm and an maximum interference of 0.0375 mm. Determine
the proper hole and shaft dimension with the basis hole standard.

Minimum diameter (lower limit) of hole:

Dmin = 75 mm
Maximum diameter (higher limit) of hole:
Dmax = 75 +0.225 = 75.225 mm
Minimum diameter (lower limit) of shaft:
dmin = Dmax + maximum interference
dmin = 75.225 + 0.0375 = 75.2625 mm

Maximum diameter (higher limit) of shaft:

dmax = dmin + tolerance = 75.2625 + .225 = 75.4875 mm
2. A 75 mm shaft rotates in a bearing. The tolerance for both shaft and bearing is 0.075 mm and the required
allowance is 0.10 mm. Determine the dimension of the shaft, and the bearing bore with the basis hole standard.
3. In a limit system, the following limits are specified to give a clearance fit between a shaft and a hole:

Determine:(a)basic size (b) shaft and hole tolerance

(c) Shaft and hole limit (d) the maximum and minimum clearance

(a) Basic Size: 30 mm

(b) Shaft tolerance:
Tolerance = upper limit – lower limit = -0.005 – (-0.018) = 0.013 mm
Hole Tolerance = 0.02 mm

(c) Shaft Limit: High limit (dmax) = 30-0.005 = 29.995 mm

Low Limit(dmin) = 30-0.018 = 29.982 mm
Hole Limit: High Limit (Dmax) = 30+0.02 = 30.02 mm
Low Limit (dmin) = 30 mm
(d) Maximum Clearance = Dmax- dmin = 30.02 – 29.982 = 0.038 mm
Minimum Clearance = Dmin – dmax = 30 – 29.995 = 0.005 mm
4. . A hole and shaft have a basic size of 25 mm, and are to have a clearance fit with a maximum clearance of
0.02 mm and a minimum clearance of 0.01 mm. The hole tolerance is to be 1.5 times the shaft tolerance.
Determine: limit for both hole and shaft (a) using a hole basis system (b) using a shaft basis system.
5. Determine the tolerances on the hole and the shaft for a precision running fit designated by 50 H7g6,
given that :
50 mm lies between 30-50 mm
i (in microns)=0.45(D) +0.001D
Fundamental deviation for ‘H’ hole=0
Fundamental deviation for g shaft =-2.5D
IT7=16i and IT6=10i
State the actual maximum and minimum sizes of the hole and shaft and maximum and minimum clearances.

Ans:
Try this

Calculate the limits of tolerance and allowance for a 25 mm shaft and hole pair designated by H8d9
Given that,
25 mm diameter lies in the standard diameter step of 18-30 mm
For ‘H’ Hole, fundamental deviation is 0
For ‘d’ shaft, fundamental deviation is −16𝐷
IT8= 25i and IT9= 40i

Ans:

Hole limits are 25 mm and 25.033 mm , Hole Tolerance = 25.033 – 25 = 0.033 mm

Shaft limits are 24.936 mm and 24.884 mm, Shaft Tolerance = 24.936 – 24.884 = 0.052 mm
