Fits and Tolerances -upper limit -lower limit
- 1. Limits, Fits and Tolerances
- 2. INTRODUCTION • No two parts can be produced with identical measurements by any manufacturing process. • In any production process, regardless of how well it is designed or how carefully it is maintained, a certain amount of variation will always exist.
- 3. INTRODUCTION Variations arises from: •Improperly adjusted machines •Operator error •Tool wear •Defective raw materials etc. Such variations are referred as ‘assignable causes’ and can be identified and controlled.
- 4. INTRODUCTION • It is impossible to produce a part to an exact size or basic size, some variations, known as tolerances, need to be allowed. • The permissible level of tolerance depends on functional requirements, which cannot be compromised.
- 5. • No component can be manufactured precisely to a given dimension; it can only be made to lie between two limits, upper (maximum) and lower (minimum). • Designer has to suggest these tolerance limits to ensure satisfactory operation. • Thedifference between the upper and lower limits is termed tolerance. • The system in which a variation is accepted is called the limit system and the allowable deviations are called tolerances
- 6. INTRODUCTION Example Shaft has to be manufactured to a diameter of 40 ± 0.02 mm. The shaft has a basic size of 40 mm. It will be acceptable if its diameter lies between the limits of sizes. Upper limit of 40+0.02 = 40.02 mm Lower limit of 40-0.02 = 39.98 mm. Then, permissive tolerance is equal to 40.02 − 39.98 = 0.04 mm.

- 8. • To satisfy the ever-increasing demand for accuracy. • Parts have to be produced with less dimensional variation. • It is essential for the manufacturer to have an in-depth knowledge of the tolerances to manufacture parts economically, adhere to quality and reliability. • To achieve an increased compatibility between mating parts. Tolerances
- 9. • The algebraic difference between the upper and lower acceptable dimensions. • It is an absolute value. • The basic purpose of providing tolerances is to permit dimensional variations in the manufacture of components, adhering to the performance criterion. Tolerances
- 10. Tolerances Classification of Tolerance 1. Unilateral tolerance 2. Bilateral tolerance 3. Compound tolerance 4. Geometric tolerance
- 11. Classification of Tolerance 1.Unilateral tolerance • When the tolerance distribution is only on one side of the basic size. Either positive or negative, but not both. Tolerances (a) Unilateral (b) Bilateral
- 12. 1. Unilateral tolerance: Below zero line: Negative
- 13. 1. Unilateral tolerance: Above zero line: Positive
- 14. 2. Bilateral tolerance When the tolerance distribution lies on either side of the basic size. • It is not necessary that Zero line will divide the tolerance zone equally on both sides. • It may be equal or unequal
- 15. 3. Compound tolerance Classification of Tolerance Tolerance for the dimension R is determined by the combined effects of tolerance on 40 mm dimension, on 60o, and on 20 mm dimension
- 16. 4. Geometric tolerance Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is a method of defining parts based on how they function, using standard symbols. Classification of Tolerance
- 17. 4. Geometric tolerance Classification of Tolerance • Diameters of the cylinders need be concentric with each other. • For proper fit between the two cylinders, both the centres to be in line. • This information is represented in the feature control frame. • Feature control frame comprises three boxes.
- 18. 4. Geometric tolerance Classification of Tolerance • First box: On the left indicates the feature to be controlled, represented symbolically (example: concentricity). • Centre box: indicates distance between the two cylinders, centres cannot be apart by more than 0.01 mm (Tolerance). • Third box: Indicates that the datum is with X.
- 19. MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM METAL CONDITIONS Consider a shaft having a dimension of 40 ± 0.05 mm and Hole having a dimension of 45 ± 0.05 mm. For Shaft Maximum metal limit (MML) = 40.05 mm Least metal limit (LML) = 39.95 mm For Hole Maximum metal limit (MML) = 44.95 mm Least metal limit (LML) = 45.05 mm
- 20. FITS The Assembly of Two Mating Parts is called Fit. RUNNING FIT: One part assembled into other so as to allow motion eg. Shaft in bearing PUSH FIT : One part is assembled into other with light hand pressure & no clearance to allow shaft to rotate as in locating plugs. DRIVING FIT : One part is assembled into other with hand hammer or medium pressure. Eg. pulley fitted on shaft with a key FORCE FIT: One part is assembled into other with great pressure eg. Cart wheels, railway wheels
- 21. FITS • The degree of tightness and or looseness between the two mating parts. Three basic types of fits can be identified, depending on the actual limits of the hole or shaft. 1. Clearance fit 2. Interference fit 3. Transition fit
- 22. FITS 1. Clearance fit The largest permissible dia. of the shaft is smaller than the dia. of the smallest hole. E.g.: Shaft rotating in a bush Upper limit of shaft is less than the lower limit of the hole.
- 23. FITS 2. Interference fit • No gap between the faces and intersecting of material willoccur. • Shaft need additional force to fit into the hole. Upper limit of the hole is less than the lower limit of shaft.
- 24. 3. Transition fit Dia. of the largest permissible hole is greater than the dia. of the smallest shaft. • Neither loose nor tight like clearance fit and interference fit. • Tolerance zones of the shaft and the hole will be overlapped between the interference and clearance fits.
- 25. FITS Detailed classification of Fits
- 31. • Tolerance grades indicates the degree of accuracy of manufacture. • IS: 18 grades of fundamental tolerances are available. • Designated by the letters IT followed by a number. • The ISO system provides tolerance grades from IT01, IT0, and IT1 to IT16. • Tolerance values corresponding to grades IT5 – IT16 are determined using the standard tolerance unit (i, in μm), which is a function of basic size. Tolerance Grade
- 32. Tolerance Grade • D = diameter of the part in mm. • 0.001D = Linear factor counteracts the effect of measuring inaccuracies. • Value of tolerance unit ‘i ’ is obtained for sizes up to 500 mm. • D is the geometric mean of the lower and upper diameters. • D=

- 36. General Terminology • Basic size: Exact theoretical size arrived at by design. Also called as nominal size. • Actual size: Size of a part as found by measurement • Zero Line: Straight line corresponding to the basic size. Deviations are measured from this line. • Limits of size: Maximum and minimum permissible sizes for a specific dimension. • Tolerance: Difference between the maximum and minimum limits of size. • Allowance: LLH –HLS (Lower limit of hole- Higher limit of shaft)
- 37. • Deviation: Algebraic difference between a size and its corresponding basic size. It may be positive, negative, or zero. • Upper deviation: Algebraic difference between the maximum limitof size and its corresponding basic size. Designated as ‘ES’ for a hole and as ‘es’ for a shaft. • Lower deviation: Algebraic difference between the minimum limit of size and its corresponding basic size. Designated as ‘EI’ for a hole and as ‘ei’ for a shaft.
- 38. • Actual deviation: Algebraic difference between the actual size and its corresponding basic size. • Tolerance Zone: Zone between the maximum and minimum limit size.
- 39. Hole Basis and Shaft Basis Systems •To obtain the desired class of fits, either the size of the hole or the size of the shaft must vary. Two types of systems are used to represent three basic types of fits, clearance, interference, and transition fits. (a) Hole basis system (b) Shaft basis system.
- 40. Hole Basis systems • The size of the hole is kept constant and the shaft size is varied to give various types of fits. • Lower deviation of the hole is zero, i.e. the lower limit of the hole is same as the basic size. • Two limitsof the shaft and the higher dimension of the hole are varied to obtain the desired type of fit.
- 41. Hole Basis systems (a) Clearance fit (b) Transition fit (c) Interference fit
- 42. Hole Basis systems This system is widely adopted in industries, easier to manufacture shafts of varying sizes to the required tolerances. Standard-size plug gauges are used to check hole sizes accurately.
- 43. Shaft Basis systems • The size of the shaft is kept constant and the hole size is varied to obtain various types of fits. • Fundamental deviation or the upper deviation of the shaft is zero. • System is not preferred in industries, as it requires more number of standard- size tools, like reamers, broaches, and gauges, increases manufacturing and inspection costs.
- 44. Shaft Basis systems (a) Clearance fit (b) Transition fit (c) Interference fit
- 45. Tolerance symbols Used to specify the tolerance and fits for mating components. Example: Consider the designation 40 H7/d9 • Basic size of the shaft and hole = 40 mm. • Nature of fit for the hole basis system is designated by H • Fundamental deviation of the hole is zero. • Tolerance grade: IT7. • The shaft has a d-type fit, the fundamental deviation has a negative value. • IT9 tolerance grade.
- 46. Tolerance symbols • First eight designations from A (a) to H (h) for holes (shafts) are used for clearance fit • Designations, JS (js) to ZC (zc) for holes (shafts), are used for interference or transition fits
- 47. Tolerance symbols • Fundamental Deviation: Deviation either the upper or lower deviation, nearest to the zero line. (provides the position of the tolerance zone). It may be positive, negative, or zero. • Upper deviation: Designated as ‘ES’ for a Hole and as ‘es’ for ashaft. • Lower deviation: Designated as ‘EI’ for a Hole and as ‘ei’ for ashaft.
- 48. Typical representation of different types of fundamental deviations (a) Holes (internal features) (b) Shafts (external features) • Upper deviation: Designated as ‘ES’ for a Hole and as ‘es’ for a shaft. • Lower deviation: Designated as ‘EI’ for a Hole and as ‘ei’ for a shaft.
- 49. Fundamental deviation for shafts and holes of sizes from above 500 to 3150 mm
- 50. • BIS: 18 grades of fundamental tolerances are available. • Designated by the letters IT followed by a number. • ISO/BIS: IT01, IT0, and IT1 to IT16. • Tolerance values corresponding to grades IT5 – IT16 are determined using the standard tolerance unit (i, in μm) Tolerance Grade
- 51. Tolerance Grade Tolerance unit, • D = diameter of the part in mm. • 0.001D = Linear factor counteracts the effect of measuring inaccuracies. • Value of tolerance unit ‘i ’ is obtained for sizes up to 500 mm. • D is the geometric mean of the lower and upper diameters. • D=
- 52. D= The various steps specified for the diameter steps are as follows: • 1–3, 3–6, 6–10, 10–18, 18–30, 30–50, 50–80, 80–120 • 120–180, 180–250, 250–315, 315–400, 400–500 • 500–630, 630–800, and 800–1000 mm.

- 54. Let us consider a shaft having a dimension of 40 ± 0.05 mm. The maximum metal limit (MML) of the shaft will have a dimension of 40.05 mm because at this higher limit, the shaft will have the maximum possible amount of metal. The shaft will have the least possible amount of metal at a lower limit of 39.95 mm, and this limit of the shaft is known as minimum or least metal limit (LML). Similarly, consider a hole having a dimension of 45 ± 0.05 mm. The hole will have a maximum possible amount of metal at a lower limit of 44.95 mm and the lower limit of the hole is designated as MML. For example, when a hole is drilled in a component, minimum amount of material is removed at the lower limit size of the hole. This lower limit of the hole is known as MML. The higher limit of the hole will be the LML. At a high limit of 45.05 mm, the hole will have the least possible amount of metal. Maximum and Minimum Metal Conditions 17
