  5. Tolerancing Summary

  6. Summary • What will we learn in Chapter 4? • We will learn about tolerancing and how important this technique is to mass production. • Key points • If a feature’s size is toleranced, it is allowed to vary within a range of values or limits. • Tolerancing enables an engineer to design interchangeable or replacement parts.

  7. Tolerancing 4.1) Tolerancing for Interchangeability

  8. Tolerancing / Interchangeability • Tolerancing is dimensioning for interchangeability. • What is interchangeability? An interchangeable part is simply a mass produced part (a replacement part).

  9. Tolerancing / Interchangeability • How is a feature on an interchangeable part dimensioned? • The feature is not dimensioned using a single value, but a range of values. 1.005 .994 1.00 →

  10. Tolerancing / Interchangeability • A tolerance is the amount of size variation permitted. • You can choose a tolerance that specifies a large or small variation. 1.005 .994 Size limits = Tolerance = 1.005 - .994 = .011

  11. Tolerancing / Interchangeability • Why do we want a part’s size to be controlled by two limits? It is necessary because it is impossible to manufacture parts without some variation. The stated limits are a form of quality control.

  12. Tolerancing / Interchangeability • Choosing a tolerance for your design. • Specify a tolerance with whatever degree of accuracy that is required for the design to work properly. • Choose a tolerance that is not unnecessarily accurate or excessively inaccurate.

  13. Tolerancing / Interchangeability • Choosing the correct tolerance for a particular application depends on: • the design intent (end use) of the part • cost • how it is manufactured • experience

  14. Tolerancing 4.2) Tolerance Types

  15. Tolerance Types • The tolerancing methods presented are: • Limit dimensions • Plus or minus tolerances • Page or block tolerances

  16. 1. Limit Dimensions • Limits are the maximum and minimum size that a part can obtain and still pass inspection. • For example, the diameter of a shaft might be specified as follows.

  17. 1. Limit Dimension Order • External dimensions: • The larger dimension is first or on top and the smaller dimension is last or on the bottom. • Internal dimensions: • The smaller dimension is first and the larger dimension is last.

  18. Is the following dimension for a shaft or hole? 1. Limit Dimension Order • Why? Does the order matter? • This convention is used to avoid machining mistakes. Shaft

  19. 2. Plus or Minus Tolerances • Plus or minus tolerances give a basic size and the variation that can occur around that basic size.

  20. 3. Page or Block Tolerances • A page tolerance is actually a general note that applies to all dimensions not covered by some other tolerancing type.

  21. Tolerancing 4.3) General Definitions

  22. General Definitions • What are the limits, tolerance and allowance for the following shaft/hole system? Are they the same or different?

  23. General Definitions • Limits:The maximum and minimum diameters. • Tolerance:The difference between two limits. • Allowance:(Minimum Clearance) The difference between the largest shaft diameter and the smallest hole diameter.

  24. Exercise 4-1 General definitions

  25. Exercise 4-1 • What are the limits of the shaft and the hole? • Shaft: • Hole: Dshaft - dshaft dhole - Dhole

  26. Exercise 4-1 • What is the tolerance for the shaft and the hole? • Shaft: • Hole: Dshaft – dshaft = Dhole – dhole =

  27. Exercise 4-1 • What is the minimum clearance (allowance)? dhole – Dshaft =

  28. Exercise 4-1 • What is the maximum clearance? Dhole – dshaft =

  29. Tolerancing 4.4) Tolerancing Standards

  30. Tolerancing Standards • Standards are needed to; • make it possible to manufacture parts at different times and in different places that still assemble properly. • establish dimensional limits for parts that are to be interchangeable.

  31. Tolerancing Standards • The two most common standards agencies are; • American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / (ASME) • International Standards Organization (ISO).

  32. Tolerancing 4.5) Inch Tolerances

  33. Inch Tolerances Definitions • Limits:The limits are the maximum and minimum size that the part is allowed to be. • Basic Size:The basic size is the size from which the limits are calculated. • It is common for both the hole and the shaft and is usually the closest fraction.

  34. Inch Tolerances Definitions • Tolerance:The tolerance is the total amount a specific dimension is permitted to vary.

  35. Exercise 4-2 Inch tolerance definitions

  36. Skip to next part of the exercise Exercise 4-2 • Fill in the following table. .49 - .50 .51 - .47 .5 or 1/2 .04 .01

  37. Inch Tolerances Definitions • Maximum Material Condition (MMC):The MMC is the size of the part when it consists of the most material. • Least Material Condition (LMC):The LMC is the size of the part when it consists of the least material.

  38. Skip to next part of the exercise Exercise 4-2 • Fill in the following table. .49 .51 .50 .47

  39. Inch Tolerances Definitions • Maximum Clearance: The maximum amount of space that can exist between the hole and the shaft. • Max. Clearance = LMChole – LMCshaft

  40. Inch Tolerances Definitions • Minimum Clearance (Allowance): The minimum amount of space that can exist between the hole and the shaft. • Min. Clearance = MMChole – MMCshaft

  41. Exercise 4-2 • Fill in the following table. .50 - .47 = .03 .49 - .51 = -.02

  42. Exercise 4-2 • What does a negative clearance mean? .50 - .47 = .03 .49 - .51 = -.02

  43. Types of Fits • There are four major types of fits. • Clearance Fit • Interference Fit • Transition Fit • Line Fit

  44. Types of Fits • What is a clearance fit? There is always a space. Min. Clearance > 0

  45. Types of Fits • What is an interference fit? There is never a space. Max. Clearance  0

  46. Types of Fits • What is a transition fit? Depending on the sizes of the shaft and hole there could be a space or no space. Max. Clearance > 0 Min. Clearance < 0

  47. Types of Fits • What is a line fit? There is a space or a contact (hole dia = shaft dia) Max. Clearance > 0 Min. Clearance = 0

  48. Exercise 4-3 Types of fits

  49. Exercise 4-3 • From everyday life, list some examples of clearance and interference fits. Lock and Key Door and Door frame Coin and Coin slot Pin in a bicycle chain Hinge pin Wooden peg and hammer toy

  50. Exercise 4-4 Determining fit type
