Topic : Limits , Tolerance and fits

Introduction
Limits :maximum and minimum permissible sizes within which the actual size of a
component lies.
Tolerance : It is impossible to make anything to an exact size, therefore it is essential to
allow a definite tolerance or permissible variation on every specified dimension.
Fit: is an assembly condition between ‘Hole’ & ‘Shaft’
Limits Of Size
· Varing properties of the material
· Production machines inherent inaccuracies.
· It is impossible for an operator to make perfect settings. While setting up the tools
and workpiece on the machine, some errors are likely to creep in.
Consider the dimension shown in fig. When trying to achieve a diameter of 40 mm (Basic
or Nominal diameter), a variation of 0.05 mm on either side may result.
If the shaft is satisfactory even if its diameter lies between 40.05 mm & 39.95 mm, the
dimension 40.05 mm is known as Upper limit and the dimension 39.95 mm is known as
Lower limit of size. Tolerance in the above example is (40.05-39.95) =0.10 mm
Tolerance is always a positive quantitative number
Why Tolerances are specified?
· Tolerances on a dimension may either be unilateral or bilateral.
· When the two limit dimensions are only on one side of the nominal size, (either above
or below) the tolerances are said to be unilateral.
· For unilateral tolerances, a case may occur when one of the limits coincide with the
basic size.
Unilateral Tolerance
: When the two limit dimensions are above and below nominal size,
(i.e. on either side of the nominal size) the tolerances are said to be bilateral.
Unilateral tolerances, are preferred over bilateral because the operator can machine to the
upper limit of the shaft (or lower limit of a hole) still having the whole tolerance left for
machining to avoid rejection of parts
Bilateral Tolerance
Fit is an assembly condition between ‘Hole’ & ‘Shaft’
Hole: A feature engulfing a component.
Shaft: A feature being engulfed by a component.
System of Fits
: In this type of fit, the largest permitted shaft diameter is less than the
smallest hole diameter so that the shaft can rotate or slide according to the
purpose of the
assembly.
Clearance fit
It is defined as the fit established when a negative clearance exists between the sizes of
holes and the shaft. In this type of fit, the minimum permitted diameter of the shaft is
larger than the maximum allowable diameter of the hole. In case of this type of fit, the
members are intended to be permanently attached.
Ex: Bearing bushes, Keys & key ways
Interference Fit:
In this type of fit, the diameter of the largest allowable hole is greater
than the smallest shaft, but the smallest hole is smaller than the largest shaft, such that a
small positive or negative clearance exists between the shaft & hole.
Ex: Coupling rings, Spigot in mating holes, etc.
Transition Fit:
• Interchangeability occurs when one part in an assembly can be substituted for a similar
part which has been made to the same drawing. Interchangeability is possible only when
certain standards are strictly followed.
•Universal interchangeability : means the parts to be assembled are from two different
manufacturing sources.
•Local interchangeability : means all the parts to be assembled are made in the same
manufacturing unit.
Interchangeability:
Hole Basis: In this system, the basic diameter of the hole is constant while the shaft size
is varied according to the type of fit.
Significance of Hole basis system: The bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) recommends
both hole basis and shaft basis systems, but their selection depends on the production
methods. Generally, holes are produced by drilling, boring, reaming, broaching, etc.
whereas shafts are either turned or ground.
If the shaft basis system is used to specify the limit dimensions to obtain various types
of fits, number of holes of different sizes are required, which in turn requires tools of
different sizes.
Basis of Fits
In this system, the basic diameter of the shaft is constant while the hole size is varied
according to the type of fit.
It may, however, be necessary to use shaft basis system where different fits are required
along a long shaft.
For example, in the case of driving shafts where a single shaft may have to accommodate
to a variety of accessories such as couplings, bearings, collars, etc., it is preferable to
maintain a constant diameter for the permanent member, which is the shaft, and vary the
bore of the accessories.
