1. Introduction

Limits

Tolerances are present in various aspects of our daily lives. One example is the '℮' sign, also known as the estimated sign or e-mark, commonly found on packaging. This symbol signifies that the weight of the contents is an approximation rather than an exact measurement. For instance, at 150 grams, the deviation may be as high as 4.5%.
Another instance can be found in a car's speedometer. It's practically impossible for a driver to maintain an exact speed of 55 mph due to numerous factors, such as variations in tire pressure, which affect speed measurements. Consequently, speed measurements often indicate a value that is 5 to 10 percent higher than reality to be on the sfae side.

Tolerances also come into play during product manufacturing. Each step in the production process introduces variation, making it impossible to create identical products or adhere precisely to the nominal specifications. Therefore, it is not possible to make every product exactly the same as all other products made, nor is it possible to make the product exactly according to the (nominal) specification.

To address this variation, designers define acceptable limits, known as tolerances, which indicate how much deviation is permissible ("tolerate" meaning "allow").

When a designer selects a narrow tolerance range, more parts will fall outside these limits due to inherent variations. Consequently, a greater number of parts will be rejected, leading to higher costs per approved part. The inverse relationship also holds true: increasing tolerance leads to fewer failures and lower costs..
tolerance↑ → failure↓ → price↓ and:
tolerance↓ → failure↑ → price↑ 

This is the designer's dilemma: how can the tolerances be chosen so broadly, so that the function of the part is still satisfactory ?

This also applies to mechanical engineering. There it is not possible to make a workpiece according to the specified dimensions. Therefore, a tolerance is specified on the workpiece drawing in addition to the nominal size. These tolerances have been established and standardized internationally. A simple reference to this standard on a drawing is sufficient to make it clear to all those involved (constructor, manufacturer, end user, etc.) what the requirements are for the workpiece wrt dimensions.

 

Fits

A part almost never stands alone; it often forms a composition with other parts. It is important that the parts fit together properly. A combination of (the tolerance of) two parts is referred to as a fit. These fits are also standardized in the ISO Fitting System.

 
Besides the fact that not every product has to be the same, the big advantage of fits is that it helps with the interchangeability of parts.
For example, a manufacturer can design an assembly himself on paper, have the parts made or purchased from different suppliers, and then assemble them without any problems, or use them for service or maintenance.

 
The photo on the right is of the Ford assembly line from 1913 where parts could be assembled without 'fitting'. Henri Ford announces: 'there are no files in my factory!' Compare this with the situation before mass production where each part had to be made to fit the other parts when assembled.

2. :Limits

In the ISO Fitting System, tolerances are indicated using the nominal size, the fundamental deviation, and the tolerance grade.
• Nominal size: this is the size with which the product is designed
• Fundamental deviation: determines the lower limit of the permitted deviation. Is identified by a letter, a lower case letter for an inner boundary ("axis") or an upper case letter for an outer boundary ("hole"). The letter also indicates the tolerance direction (in positive direction ("larger"), negative direction, or symmetrical)
• Tolerance grade: determines the size of the permitted deviation. Indicated by a number, the number indicates the degree of quality (a low number indicates an accurate tolerance, a higher number indicates a wider tolerance)

Example: '12 G6': nominal size = '12'; fundamental deviation identifier = 'G'; tolerance grade = '6'.
 
The limits can be looked up in the tables above:
• the fundamental deviation identifier 'G' shows that table 'holes, F to H' is applicable.
• in this table, the left two columns show that for a nominal size of 12, group  'above 10, to 18' is applicable.
• in this group, the upper and lower limit of G6 can be read: '+6' en '+17' (μm) resp.
>>> thus, the limits of '12 G6' are 12.006 en 12.017 .

limits 12 G6

The fundamental deviation and tolerance grade will be discussed in the next paragraphs.

2.1 Fundamental deviation

As explained above, the Fundamental deviation determines:
- the lower limit
- the direction of the deviation
 
On a drawing, the Fundamental deviation is indicated by means of a character:
- a lower case letter for an inner limit ("shaft"), or
- an upper case letter for an outer limit ("hole")
 
In the norm the actual values are documented; the table below is shortened and copied from the norm:

450500+1650+840+480...+200...-23...-68...-1250

It is noticeable from this table that the size deviation depends on the size of the nominal size, namely: "the larger the product, the greater the size deviation".
 
The figure below shows this graphically. It shows the Fundamental deviations of two shafts (∅100mm and ∅200mm respectively).

2.2 Tolerance grade

The tolerance grade determines the 'width' of the allowed deviation
 
On drawing this is indicated by a number, in the previous example '12 G6' this is '6'.
 
A lower number means more accurate, a higher number less accurate:
• 1-4: very accurate
• 5-11: accurate and plain
• 12-16: rough
 
The (shortened) table below is taken from the norm:

130.30.50.81.23...61014....400600

31540035793...365789....23003600
400500468103...406397....25004000

It is noticeable from this table that the tolerance depends on the the nominal size, in this way: "the larger the product, the greater the tolerance". And this corresponds to the intuitive feeling that something larger can be made less precise.
 
In fact, the tolerance class is the accuracy of the machining operation, and therefore largely determines the type of machining.
The table below indicates which operation can be used to achieve a certain tolerance:

2.3 Limits

In summary, the limits are determined by the combination of the Fundamental deviation, and tolerance grade:
• Fundamental deviation: determines the lower limit, and direction (positive/negative/symmetric
• tolerance grade: determines the magnitude of the tolerance
• the absolute (lower- and upper-) limits are dependent on the nominal size
 
The picture below can make this clear (tip: 'read' from left to right):

the ultimate limits are dependent on the nominal size

2.4 Looking up the limits

When te nominal size, fundamental deviation, and tolerance grade are known, the limits can be lookep up.
As an example: '10 P8'
a. search in the table above: row 'size group 6 tp 10', column 'P' >>>fundamentall deviation -15 μm
b. search in the table above: row 'size group 6 to 10', column '8' >>>tolerace 22 μm
c. >>> limits -15 μm and (-15-22=) -37 μm, which evaluates to 9.985 to 9.963 mm
 
For this specific example, the limits can be directly looked up in the table(s) with most used limits: : see table.
 
Another way to lookup the limits is by meands of a 'Tolerator', this is a handy tool to find the most used limits, by turning a knob.

figuur 4: de tolerator

Of course the limits can also be found digitally: this calculator (download, excel), or with this online calculator.

2.5 Check on limits

To verify if the feature fits the limits can be achieved with measurement tools like calipers. There are also check tools specifically for tolerances: gauges. With a gauge it can be quickly checked whether the dimensions are correct: 'right or wrong'.
 
Properties of a gauge:
• a gauge is feature-specific, so it is suitable for one application, eg 'hole'.
• a gauge is also size-related, so it is suitable for one tolerance, e.g. '20 H7'.
The gauge has an approval and rejection side. The reject side can usually be recognized by a red mark.
 
Examples of gauges:

plug gauge for checking a hole

snap gauge for checking a shaft

The use is quite simple. Both sides of the gauge should be tested. The feature does not meet the limits if:
• the gauge does not fit on the approval side (the shape is too small); or:
• the gauge does fit on the rejection side (then the shape is too large)

a gauge shows approval or rejection in an easy way

The advantages and disadvantages of gauges follow from their properties:
Advantages: fast, easy to use, little can go wrong, also checks for shape deviations (e.g. roundness of a hole)
Disadvantages: expensive to purchase, shape and size dependent so large sets are required, must be periodically calibrated, actual dimensions of the shape to be checked are unknown

3. Fits 3.1 Introduction

When combining a shaft and a hole, automatically the question arises: will it fit ?
The nature of the fit is determined by the clearance between the shaft and the hole: with a positive clearance the shaft is smaller than the hole, and with a negative clearance the shaft is larger than the hole.

positive or negative clearance

If the maximum limit of a shaft is smaller than the minimum limit of a hole, it is referred to as a clearance fit.
If the minimum limit of a shaft is larger than the maximum limit of a hole, it is referred to as a transition fit.
If there is a potential positive or negative clearance, it is referred to as an interference fit.

clearance, transition and interference fit


Depending on the application, a specific type of fit is chosen.
For a sliding application, for example a piston-cylinder combination, a clearance fit will be chosen.
If the parts need to remain in place, but can still be removed afterwards, for example a bearing in a bearing housing, then a transition fit will be chosen.
If the parts must be inextricably connected to each other, and even be able to transmit/resist forces, an interference fit will be chosen.

3.2 Preferred fits

In theory, it is possible to conceive of any imaginable (exotic) fit, but in practice, this is undesirable and even unnecessary. Unnecessary because a limited number of combinations of shafts and holes have proven sufficient for the majority of structural problems. Undesirable because anyone applying a fit tends to rely on established principles.
The most commonly used fits, or combinations of shaft and hole tolerances, are referred to as preferred fits.
The table below provides an overview of preferred fits. Please note that preferred fits apparently remain independent (!) of the nominal size:

p5-r5-s5-t5p6-r6-s6-t6-u6s7-t7-u7
remark: between brackets means less common; bold means pravailed
De schrijfwijze wordt dan (bijvoorbeeld): '52 h7/F8' oftewel een combinatie van een as 52 h7 met gat 52 F8.

From the table above can be read that combination h7-F8 is a prevailed, clearance fit.
Elaborate:
• find shaft '52 h7' in table: limits 51,970 en 52,000
• find hole '52 F8' in table: limits 52,030 en 52,076
So in this case, it is a clearance fit, met minimum play +0,030 and maximum play +0,106 (mm)
('smallest possible hole minus largest possible shaft' resp. 'larget posible hole minus smallest possible shaft')

3. hole-basis and shaft-basis fit

The table above mentions 'hole-basis fit' and 'shaft-basis fit', these are preferred fits where the fundamental deviation of the hole (resp. shaft) is zero. The counterpart can be 'freely' chosen.

hole-basis fit vs shaft-basis fit

In the table below some preference fits are given with an application:
Type of

fits		H6/h5H6/h5gear on shaft

easy dismountable bearings
J8/h7H8/j7frequently removed bearing bushes
interference
fits		P7/h6
S7/h6		H7/p6
H7/s6		seated bearing bushes
parts without retaining

The picture below gives a graphical representation:

on the left: in the hole-basis fit system, the hole has a fundamental deviation of zero ('H') and the counterpart is 'free';
on the right: in the shaft-basis fit system, the shaft has a fundamental deviation of zero ('h') and the counterpart is 'free';

Example of a transitional fit: '20 H7/k6' in other words a combination of a hole 20 H7 with shaft 20 k6.
Elaboration:
• look up hole '20 H7' in the table: limit sizes 20.000 and 20.021
• look up shaft '20 k6' in the table: limit sizes 20.002 and 20.015
Therefore it is a transitional fit, with minimum clearance -0.015 and maximum clearance +0.019 (mm)
