Tolerancing
Engineering Graphics
Stephen W. Crown Ph.D.
Objective
 To learn how to effectively tolerance parts
such that parts function correctly and cost is
kept to a minimum
Tolerancing
 Definition: Allowance for specific variation in the
size and geometry of a part
 Why is tolerancing necessary?
 It is impossible to manufacture a part to an exact size or
geometry
 Since variation from the drawing is inevitable the
acceptable degree of variation must be specified
 Large variation may affect the functionality of the part
 Small variation will effect the cost of the part
 requires precise manufacturing
 requires inspection and the rejection of parts
Functionality
 Assemblies: Parts will often not fit together if their
dimensions do not fall with in a certain range of
values
 Interchangeability: If a replacement part is used it
must be a duplicate of of the original part within
certain limits of deviation
 The relationship between functionality and size or
shape of an object varies from part to part
 the usefulness of eyeglasses is extremely sensitive to
size and shape
 the usefulness of glass marbles are not very sensitive to
size and shape
Cost
 Cost generally increases with smaller tolerance
 There is generally a lower limit to this relationship
where larger tolerances do not affect cost
(!0.020 Vs !0.010)
 Small tolerances cause an exponential increase in cost
 Parts with small tolerances often require special
methods of manufacturing
 Parts with small tolerances often require greater
inspection and call for the rejection of parts
 Do not specify a smaller tolerance than is
necessary!
How Is Tolerance Specified?
 Size
 Limits specifying the allowed variation in each
dimension (length, width, height, diameter, etc.)
are given on the drawing
 Geometry
 Geometric Tolerancing
 Allows for specification of tolerance for the
geometry of a part separate from its size
 GDT (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing)
uses special symbols to control different geometric
features of a part
General Tolerances
 A note may be placed on the drawing which
specifies the tolerance for all dimensions except
where individually specified
 ALL DECIMAL DIMENSIONS TO BE HELD
TO !0.020
 Several tolerances may be specified for
dimensions with a different number of decimal
places or for a different type of dimension such as
angles
 Specific tolerances given to a dimension on a
drawing always supersede general tolerances
Specific Tolerances
 The tolerance for a single dimension may be
specified with the dimension
 The tolerance is total variation between the upper and
lower limits (tolerance = .020)
 Limits
 Unilateral tolerance
 Bilateral tolerance
Tolerancing Holes and Shafts
 Terms
 Basic size: The size to which tolerances are applied
 Nominal size: The general size (0.261 { 1/4)
 Allowance
 The minimum space between two mating parts
 Based on the largest shaft and the smallest hole
 A negative number indicates that the parts must be
forced together
 Max. Clearance
 The maximum space between mating parts
 Based on the smallest shaft and the largest hole
Tolerancing Holes and Shafts
 Types of Fit
 Clearance fit
 The parts are toleranced such that the largest shaft is
smaller than the smallest hole
 The allowance is positive and greater than zero
 Transition fit
 The parts are toleranced such that the allowance is
negative and the max. clearance is positive
 The parts may be loose or forced together
 Interference fit
 The max. clearance is always negative
 The parts must always be forced together
Tolerancing Holes and Shafts
 Preferred fits: A specified system of fits for
holes and shafts for SI units
 Hole basis
 The minimum hole size equals the basic hole size
 Uses the symbol H in the tolerance specification
 Shaft basis
 The maximum shaft size equals the basic shaft size
 Uses the symbol h in the tolerance specification
Tolerancing Holes and Shafts
 Preferred precision fits: A specified system of fits
for holes and shafts for english units
 Based on hole basis
 Classes of fit specified
 RC: Running and sliding
 (Allowance >0, Max Clearance >0)
 LC: Clearance and locational
 (Allowance =0, Max Clearance >0)
 LT: Transition locational
 (Allowance <0, Max Clearance >0)
 LN: Interference locational
 (Allowance <0, Max Clearance =0)
 FN: Force and shrink
 (Allowance <0, Max Clearance <0)
Examples: Holes and Shafts
