Introduction• In engineering you are usually
concerned with a number of parts orcomponents fitting together to makean:
assembly
![Page 3: Limits and Fits - Physics Champion and Fits ken.pdffits within tolerance limits •Tolerances for Go gauges are placed within working limits •Tolerances for No Go gauges are outside](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033120/5e8ba4a9997049152d439bf3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• To assemble components togetherengineers must control the sizes ofthe components to make sure thatthey fit together correctly.
• If they don’t fit together correctlythen the components will not functionproperly.

What is a FIT in engineering terms?
• There are three types of fit used in engineering:
1. Clearance Fit2. Transition Fit3. Interference Fit
![Page 5: Limits and Fits - Physics Champion and Fits ken.pdffits within tolerance limits •Tolerances for Go gauges are placed within working limits •Tolerances for No Go gauges are outside](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033120/5e8ba4a9997049152d439bf3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1. The Clearance Fit.This is where the shaft slides through the hole
Called the Clearance
GAP
![Page 6: Limits and Fits - Physics Champion and Fits ken.pdffits within tolerance limits •Tolerances for Go gauges are placed within working limits •Tolerances for No Go gauges are outside](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033120/5e8ba4a9997049152d439bf3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2. The Transition Fit.This is where the shaft slides through the hole very tightly.
NO GAP
Called the Transition
![Page 7: Limits and Fits - Physics Champion and Fits ken.pdffits within tolerance limits •Tolerances for Go gauges are placed within working limits •Tolerances for No Go gauges are outside](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033120/5e8ba4a9997049152d439bf3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
3. The Interference Fit.This is where the shaft slides through the hole and shears the metal has it goes in.
SHEARING
Called the Interference
![Page 8: Limits and Fits - Physics Champion and Fits ken.pdffits within tolerance limits •Tolerances for Go gauges are placed within working limits •Tolerances for No Go gauges are outside](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033120/5e8ba4a9997049152d439bf3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Other Names Used for the Fits
• Sliding Fit allows one part to slide inanother whilst there is no forcebeing applied to the shaft
The Clearance Fit
![Page 9: Limits and Fits - Physics Champion and Fits ken.pdffits within tolerance limits •Tolerances for Go gauges are placed within working limits •Tolerances for No Go gauges are outside](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033120/5e8ba4a9997049152d439bf3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• A Force Fit which needs a “bigHammer” or preferable a power pressto assemble the shaft and hole.
The Interference Fit
• A Push Fit which means the hole andthe shaft can be push together orperhaps tapped gentle with a softhammer.
The Transition Fit
![Page 10: Limits and Fits - Physics Champion and Fits ken.pdffits within tolerance limits •Tolerances for Go gauges are placed within working limits •Tolerances for No Go gauges are outside](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033120/5e8ba4a9997049152d439bf3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How do we decide which fit to use?
• First consider what is required of the fit.
• Then decide how much clearance orinterference you are going to give your fit.
• Then determine what nominal size you aregoing to fit together.
![Page 11: Limits and Fits - Physics Champion and Fits ken.pdffits within tolerance limits •Tolerances for Go gauges are placed within working limits •Tolerances for No Go gauges are outside](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033120/5e8ba4a9997049152d439bf3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What are Nominal sizes?
• They are basically any size, it maybe any whole number you like: -
• 16 12 40 60 1200 230,000
• Now you have the size, how muchinterference or clearance do we use?
![Page 12: Limits and Fits - Physics Champion and Fits ken.pdffits within tolerance limits •Tolerances for Go gauges are placed within working limits •Tolerances for No Go gauges are outside](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033120/5e8ba4a9997049152d439bf3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
We need a system to help!
Advantages of having a system:Interchangeable - parts made at different times or
places fit together.
Time saving - reference to a standard system speedsup decisions on sizes to give particular fits.
Assurance of correct fit - actual fit will be as requiredeven if design size changes.
Spare Parts – manufacture of these is made easier asthey can be made to the same standard.

British Standards 4500
• Uses the nominal size for both holes andshafts.
• This size is determined by strengthconsiderations.
• Calculations of material properties andstrengths are used to obtain the nominalsize.
• Remember: The nominal size is the samefor both hole and shaft.
![Page 14: Limits and Fits - Physics Champion and Fits ken.pdffits within tolerance limits •Tolerances for Go gauges are placed within working limits •Tolerances for No Go gauges are outside](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033120/5e8ba4a9997049152d439bf3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
BS4500• The British Standard System uses the letters of
the alphabet to describe how much bigger orsmaller a hole or a shaft will deviate from thenominal size.
• This deviation is called the:-
Fundamental deviation.
• Holes are described by capital letters H, G etc.• Shafts are described by lower case letters h, g
etc.

British Standards Tolerance zones
Tolerance Zone
BS4500 use numbered tolerance zones (01 to 16)
![Page 19: Limits and Fits - Physics Champion and Fits ken.pdffits within tolerance limits •Tolerances for Go gauges are placed within working limits •Tolerances for No Go gauges are outside](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033120/5e8ba4a9997049152d439bf3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• The most accurate tolerance zones are numbered 01 02 and 03.
• Whereas for more general engineering work we use 06, 07 and 08.
• Finally, rough work is done at 14,15 and 16.

Round up• You now have a letter and a number.
• Put them together and you have the type of fit and the tolerance that will achieve it. Examples are:
»H7, K8 and M9.»For holes.
• For shafts we use:• g6, h7 and f7.

Limits of size• Look on the chart
• Maximum and minimum allowances are shown in thousandths of a millimetre
• Minimum clearance and minimum interference is minimum hole size
minus maximum shaft size
• Tolerance is max deviation minus min deviation

When does Tolerances become important
• Assemblies: Parts will often not fit together if their
• dimensions do not fall with in a certain range of values
![Page 27: Limits and Fits - Physics Champion and Fits ken.pdffits within tolerance limits •Tolerances for Go gauges are placed within working limits •Tolerances for No Go gauges are outside](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033120/5e8ba4a9997049152d439bf3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
When do Tolerances become important
• Interchangeability
• If a replacement part is used it must be
• a duplicate of the original part within certain limits of deviation.

Measuring and gauging• Measuring is a direct reading process
in which the inspection instrument consists of (or incorporates ) a continuous series of linear measurement units, commonly known as a scale.
