    This document provides information on position tolerancing, including: - Position tolerance zones locate features using basic dimensions and datums, and are specified as round for axes or flat for center planes. - For holes, the ideal location is the center of the tolerance zone, and the actual hole axis must lie inside the zone. - Fixed and floating fasteners are distinguished by the number of clearance holes used. - Position tolerance is calculated based on the largest screw size, smallest clearance hole size, and whether it is a fixed or floating condition. - Rules are provided for determining the maximum material condition size of holes and fasteners for calculations. - The MMC modifier allows for bonus

    CONDITION

    POSITION ZONE TYPES


    AXIS

    Zones are located from datums


    with basic dimensions
    Zone sizes are specified in
    feature control frames
    Zone is round () when it
    locates an axis (hole, post,)

    CENTER PLANE

    Zone is flat (no ) when it


    locates a center plane (slot, tab)
    Zone size may be modified (,)
    when dependent on feature size

    POSITION TOLERANCE ZONE FOR HOLES


    IDEAL HOLE LOCATION = CENTER OF ZONE

    CALCULATING POSITION TOLERANCE


    WHEN USING FASTENERS

    MMC = largest screw & smallest clearance hole

    FLOATING FASTENER CONDITION


    TOLERANCE = MMC CLR HOLE MMC FASTENER

    FIXED FASTENER CONDITION


    TOLERANCE = MMC CLR HOLE MMC FASTENER

    DETERMINING MMC SIZES OF HOLES &


    FASTENERS FOR CALCULATIONS
    Fact #1 - Fastener companies manufacture screws so that
    their NOMINAL SIZES are at MMC (worst case is nominal size)

    RULE #1
    The MMC of a fastener is its nominal size
    Fact #2 Drill bits create holes that are always larger than their
    NOMINAL SIZES (worst case is nominal size for calculations)

    RULE #2
    The MMC of a drilled hole is its nominal size

    The MMC modifier


    The MMC modifier provides bonus tolerance whenever
    the tolerance zone size is based on the feature size
    CLEARANCE HOLE
    FASTENER

    Allowable movement of
    hole with hole at MMC

    NO CLEARANCE

    ADDITIONAL
    CLEARANCE

    Enlarged hole provides for


    more movement of hole
    ZONE SIZE CAN INCREASE

    MMC question
    If feature size deviates from
    MMC, can the feature move
    farther out of position and still
    function correctly?
    If answer is yes, belongs in
    feature control frame

    Example call out hole for


    3/8 screw in fixed condition
    Nominal size of 3/8 screw is 3/8 (.375)
    Clearance hole for 3/8 screw is made with drill bit X (.3970)
    TOLERANCE ZONE DIAMETER = (.397 - .375) 2 = .011
    ON THE DRAWING
    .3970 (X) THRU

    1. Establish datums
    2. Locate tolerance zone
    3. Define hole and zone

    Calculating Actual
    Zone Size in
    Inspection
    Actual Zone Size =
    MMC zone size +
    feature size deviation
    from MMC

    The MMC modifier is a powerful


    tool for allowing bonus
    tolerance in the location of a
    feature without decreasing its
    function or quality

    Bonus tolerance
    = faster manufacturing time
    = less manufacturing cost
    = MORE MONEY FOR YOU
