  2. Engineering fit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_fit

    Engineering fits are generally used as part of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing when a part or assembly is designed. In engineering terms, the "fit" is the clearance between two mating parts, and the size of this clearance determines whether the parts can, at one end of the spectrum, move or rotate independently from each other or, at the other end, are temporarily or permanently joined.

  3. Limits and fits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_and_fits

    In mechanical engineering, limits and fits are a set of rules regarding the dimensions and tolerances of mating machined parts if they are to achieve the desired ease of assembly, and security after assembly - sliding fit, interference fit, rotating fit, non-sliding fit, loose fit, etc. Tolerances are typically specified in thousandths of an ...

  4. Engineering tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_tolerance

    H7/h6 is a very common standard tolerance which gives a tight fit. The tolerances work in such a way that for a hole H7 means that the hole should be made slightly larger than the base dimension (in this case for an ISO fit 10+0.015−0, meaning that it may be up to 0.015 mm larger than the base dimension, and 0 mm smaller).

  5. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_dimensioning_and...

    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.

  6. Tolerance analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolerance_analysis

    Tolerance analysis is the general term for activities related to the study of accumulated variation in mechanical parts and assemblies. Its methods may be used on other types of systems subject to accumulated variation, such as mechanical and electrical systems.

  7. Allowance (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allowance_(engineering)

    A tolerance is the expected limit of acceptable unintended deviation from a nominal or theoretical dimension. Therefore, a pair of tolerances, upper and lower, defines a range within which an actual dimension may fall while still being acceptable. In contrast, an allowance is a planned deviation from the nominal or theoretical dimension.

  8. Fit (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fit_(manufacturing)

    In precision mechanics, fit refers to the degree of 'looseness' with which a shaft is inserted into a bored hole. This coupling is related to the tolerance or allowance of both parts' dimensions. The shaft and the orifice must be of a similar diameter, otherwise there will not be a correct adjustment.

  9. Interference fit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_fit

    The tightness of fit is controlled by amount of interference; the allowance (planned difference from nominal size). Formulas exist [2] to compute allowance that will result in various strengths of fit such as loose fit, light interference fit, and interference fit. The value of the allowance depends on which material is being used, how big the ...
