    Chapter 2 (B) :: Fits and Tolerances

    Uploaded by

    jojo
    This document defines common fits and tolerances used in manufacturing. It discusses clearance fits which allow rotation or sliding, interference fits which always result in contact, and transition fits which allow for accurate positioning. Tolerances specify the permissible variation in dimensions. Examples show how to determine the limits, clearance, and type of fit between a shaft and hole given the basic size and fit classification. Assembly tolerances consider the total variation between mating parts.

    Chapter 2 (b):

    Fits and Tolerances


    Definitions

    1. Allowance- difference in dimensions between mating part


    2. Basic size- dimension from which limits of size are derived
    3. Limit- permissible dimension
    4. Tolerance- deviation of max & min limits
    5. Clearance fit- fit that allows for rotation or sliding between
    mating part
    6. Interference fit- fit having limits of size that interference
    always results when mating parts are assembled
    7. Transition fit- A fit with small clearance or interference that
    allows for accurate location of mating parts
    Fit and Tolerances
     All components are manufactured within a
    certain range of dimensional tolerance
     Variation in the size of components always
    present
     Example: Shaft diameter ; 10 +/- 1.0 mm
    -11.0 (max limit)
    - 9.0 (min limit)
    * Limit – the dimension of which parts can
    be manufacture
    Tolerances
    Fits & Classification
    Fits- degree of tightness and looseness between two mating parts.

    Clearance fit- positive difference between the sizes of the hole and
    the shaft.
    Interference fit- negative difference between the sizes of the hole
    and the shaft.
    Transition fit - between clearance and interference fit, where the
    tolerance zones of the holes and shaft overlap
    Limits and Fits

     They are for specifying dimensions for holes


    and shafts
     2 standards on limits and fits: inch and metric
    unit
     Capital letters always refer to the hole and
    lowercase letters to the shaft
    Example 1
    Consider an example of a shaft and a housing used in a linkage:

    Type of fit: H8/f7


    Basic or nominal size: dia. 40 mm

    Determine the working limits, clearance and type of fit for the shaft and hole
    in the housing.

    Solution:
    Look along ISO Fits data sheet 4500A and locate ‘Normal Fit’.
    H8 for the hole (upper case H)
    f7 for the shaft (lower case f)

    Locate 40 mm in the left hand Nominal sizes column. Read across and note the
    Tolerance values for the hole & shaft as shown in Figure below:
    Tolerances Table
    Example 1 (Continue)
    Tolerance:
    1.Hole : +0.039 mm -0.000 mm
    2.Shaft : -0.025 mm -0.050 mm

    Limits:
    1.Hole : min limit = 40 + 0 = 40.000 mm
    max limit = 40 + 0.039 = 40.039 mm
    2. Shaft : min limit = 40 + (-0.050) = 39.950 mm
    max limit = 40 +(-0.025)= 39.975 mm
    Clearance:
    Minimum clearance = min hole size - max shaft size
    = 40.000 – 39.975 = 0.025 mm (+ve clearance)

    Maximum clearance= max hole size – min shaft size


    = 40.039 – 39.950 = 0.089 mm (+ve clearance)
    Type of fit : clearance fit
    Type of Fit

    -Door hinge

    -Pulley held on shaft by set screw

    -Keyed gear on shaft

    -Folding knife pivot

    -Flat electrical cable connectors


    -Tapered shank drill (lathe
    tailstock)
    -Locating pins between cylinder
    and crankcase on single cylinder
    engines
    -Ball bearing inner race
    on shaft
    -Cast iron drive gear on
    shaft
    -Steel drive gear on
    shaft

    Example 2: External Assembly of
    Components

    Determine max & min limit and assembly tolerance


    Example 2: Assembly of Components
    (continue)
    Max limit = 10.05 + 20.1+10.05= 40.2 mm
    Min limit = 9.95 + 19.9 + 9.95 = 39.8 mm

    Tolerance for component:

    b. 10.05 – 9.95 = 0.1


    c. 20.1 -19.9 = 0.2
    d. 10.05 – 9.95 = 0.1

    Assembly tolerance = 0.4 mm


    Example 2: Internal Assembly of
    Components

    Determine max & min clearance for assembly


    Example 2: Internal Assembly of
    Components (Continue)

    Max clearance = 35.5 – (14.95 + 19.9) = 0.65


    Min clearance = 35.3 – (15.05 + 20.1) = 0.15
    Review

    Determine type of fitting for Example 2 if


    dimension d change to:

    d= 35.15 (upper limit)


    =34.85 (lower limit)
