Objectives

• To learn how to effectively select

tolerance for parts so that these

function correctly i.e. to have

appropriate fits with parts in connection.

• To learn about geometric tolerancing

and surface finishing issues.

Tolerancing

• Definition: » Allowance for specific variation in the size and

geometry of a part

• Why is tolerancing necessary? » It is impossible to manufacture a part to an exact size

or geometry

» Since variation from the drawing is inevitable the acceptable degree of variation must be specified

» Large variation may affect the functionality of the part

» Small variation will effect the cost of the part requires precise manufacturing

requires inspection and the rejection of parts



Design web

How is tolerance specified?

• Size

» Limits specifying the allowed variation in

each dimension (length, width, height,

diameter, etc.) are given on the drawing

• Geometry

» Geometric Tolerancing

– Allows for specification of tolerance for the

geometry of a part separate from its size

– GDT (Geometric Dimensioning and

Tolerancing) uses special symbols to control

different geometric features of a part

Tolerance grades

18 tolerance grades related to part size ranges

Standard tolerances related to zero line by deviation

Standardised by BS4500: ISO Units and Fits

1 Nominal Size – a general size, common fraction

Basic Size – theoretical size from which limits are fixed

Actual Size – measured size

2,3 Limits – maximum and minimum permissible sizes

4,5 Deviation – max. and min. difference from a nominal

size (1-2 or 1-3)

6 Tolerance – total allowable variance in dimensions

(upper limit – lower limit or 2-3 or 4-5)

Fits

• Range of tightness between two mating parts

• Types of fit

» Clearance fits

– provides clearance between two mating parts.

» Interference fit

– results in interference between mating parts

» Transition fits

– results in neither of the above

Preferred Hole Basis System of Fits

Standardised by BS4500: ISO Units and Fits



Design web

Basic Hole System or Hole Basis

Definition of the "Basic Hole System":

» The "minimum size" of the hole is equal to

the "basic size" of the fit

Example:

If the nominal size of a fit is 10 mm,

then the minimum size of the hole in the

system will be 10mm

Fundamental deviations for shafts



Design web

Fit Calculations

Clearance = Hole – Shaft

Cmax = Hmax–Smin

Cmin = Hmin –Smax

If:

» Both Cmax and Cmin >0 - Clearance fit

» Both Cmax and Cmin <0 - Interference fit

» Cmax > 0 and Cmin < 0 - Transition fit

Allowance = Hmin – Smax = Cmin

System tolerance: TS = Cmax - Cmin = Σ Ti

Geometrical Tolerances

– Geometric tolerance of

a feature

(point, line, axis, surface)

specifies the

tolerance zone in which

the feature is required to

contain.

Exercise DrE-5

• Groups of 5. Each group has

one assembly with several parts.

• Measure parts in the assembly

together.

• Each member of the group will

have to do his/her own part.

• Make sketch - drawing with all

required dimensions, tolerances

and surface finish notes.

• This sketch has to be approved

and as such used as the basis for

CAD-1 exercise.

• 2 week exercise
