- 1. Tolerancing Engineering Graphics Stephen W. Crown Ph.D.
- 2. Objective To learn how to effectively tolerance parts such that parts function correctly and cost is kept to a minimum
- 3. 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
- 4. 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
- 5. 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!
- 6. 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
- 7. 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
- 8. 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
- 9. 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
- 10. 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
- 11. 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
- 12. 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)
