Tolerance
Tolerance is the total amount a dimension may vary. It is the difference between the maximum and minimum limits.
Ways to Express:1. Direct limits or as tolerance limits applied to a
dimension2. Geometric tolerances3. A general tolerance note in title block4. Notes referring to specific conditions

2. Geometric Tolerance System
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a method of defining parts based on how they function, using standard ANSI symbols.

4. Notes Referring to Specific Conditions
General Tolerances could be in the form of a note similar to the one shown below:
ALL DECIMAL DIMENSIONS TO BE HELD TO .002"
Means that a dimension such as .500 would be assigned a tolerance of 0.002, resulting in a upper limit of .502 and a lower limit of .498

Important Terms – Single Part
• Nominal Size – general size, usually expressed in common fractions (1/2" for the slot)
• Basic Size – theoretical size used as starting point (.500" for the slot)
• Actual Size – measured size of the finished part (.501" for the slot)
10

AU 2005
Important Terms – Single Part
• Limits – maximum and minimum sizes shown by tolerances (.502 and .498 – larger value is the upper limit and the smaller value is the lower limit, for the slot)
• Tolerance – total allowable variance in dimensions (upper limit – lower limit) – object dimension could be as big as the upper limit or as small as the lower limit or anywhere in between
11

Important Terms – Multiple Parts
• Allowance – the minimum clearance or maximum interference between parts
• Fit – degree of tightness between two parts– Clearance Fit – tolerance of mating parts always
leave a space– Interference Fit – tolerance of mating parts
always interfere– Transition Fit – sometimes interfere, sometimes
clear

Standard Precision Fits: English Units
• Running and sliding fits (RC)• Clearance locational fits (LC)• Transition locational fits (LT)• Interference locational fits (LN)• Force and shrink fits (FN)
See Table A.1 in the Appendix (pp. A-3 to A-9)

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 1/2", then the minimum size of the hole in the system will be 0.500"

• Clearance = Hole – Shaft• Cmax = Hmax – Smin• Cmin = Hmin – Smax
Both Cmax and Cmin <0 – Interference fit
Both Cmax and Cmin >0 – Clearance fit
Cmax > 0; Cmin < 0 – Transition fit
• System Tolerance = Cmax – Cmin• Allowance = Min. Clearance = Cmin

Calculate Maximum and Minimum Clearance
Clearance = Hole – Shaft
Cmax = Hmax – Smin
Cmax = .510 – .485 = .025
Cmin = .505 – .490 = .015
What type of fit is this? Cmax > Cmin > 0 Clearance
Cmin = Hmin – Smax

Metric Limits and Fits
• Based on Standard Basic Sizes – ISO Standard, see the Appendix material (Table A.2 on pp. A-10 to A-13 in text)
• Note that in the Metric system:
Nominal Size = Basic Size
• Example: If the nominal size is 8, then the basic size is 8
