From IT6 to IT18, the standard tolerances are multiplied by the factor 10 at each fifth step. This rule applies to all standard tolerances and may be used to extrapolate values for IT grades not given in Table 1. For example, the nominal size range 120 mm up to and including 180 mm, the value of IT20 is: IT20 = IT15 × 10 = 1.6 mm × 10 = 16 mm [2]
The standard (size) tolerances are divided into two categories: hole and shaft. They are labelled with a letter (capitals for holes and lowercase for shafts) and a number. For example: H7 (hole, tapped hole, or nut) and h7 (shaft or bolt). H7/h6 is a very common standard tolerance which gives a tight fit.
Example of true position geometric control defined by basic dimensions and datum features. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is a system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances via a symbolic language on engineering drawings and computer-generated 3D models that describes a physical object's nominal geometry and the permissible variation thereof.
In mechanical engineering, limits and fits are a set of rules regarding the dimensions and tolerances of mating machined parts. Limits and Fits are given to a part's dimensions to gain the desired type of fit. This is seen most commonly in regulating shaft sizes with hole sizes. [1]
Key relevance cannot be deduced from a key code, since the key code merely refers to a central authoritative source for designed shapes and sizes of keys. Typical modern keys require a key relevance of approximately 0.03 to 0.07 millimetres (0.0012 to 0.0028 in) (accuracy within 0.75% to 1.75%) in order to operate. [4]
A dimension that establishes a distance away from the finished floor. Example would be the top of a coffee table to the shag of the carpet, not where the bottom of the tables feet dig in. AISI: American Iron and Steel Institute: The AISI acronym is commonly seen as a prefix to steel grades, for example, "AISI 4140".
Parallel keys are the most widely used. They have a square or rectangular cross-section. Square keys are used for smaller shafts and rectangular faced keys are used for shaft diameters over 6.5 in (170 mm) or when the wall thickness of the mating hub is an issue.
ASME Y14.5 is a complete definition of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. It contains 15 sections which cover symbols and datums as well as tolerances of form, orientation, position, profile and runout. [3] It is complemented by ASME Y14.5.1 - Mathematical Definition of Dimensioning and Tolerancing Principles.
