LIMITS, FITS AND TOLERANCE CALCULATOR (ISO SYSTEM)

Fits and tolerance calculator for shaft and hole according to ISO 286-1 and ANSI B4.2 metric standards . The schematic representation of the fit is also drawn.

The tolerances defined in ISO 286-1 are applicable to size range from 0 mm to 3150 mm but there are exceptional cases defined in the standard which depend on tolerance selection. If the calculation results given by the calculator are "---", then this means the input parameters are not applicable according to ISO standard.

Definitions:

Nominal size: The size of a feature of perfect form as defined by the technical drawing.

Deviation: The difference between a size and the corresponding nominal size.

Upper deviation: The difference between the maximum limiting size and the corresponding nominal size of a feature.

Lower deviation: The difference between the minimum limiting size and the corresponding nominal size of a feature.

Tolerance: The difference between the maximum and minimum size limits of a part.

Clearance Fit: A fit type where clearance exists between assembled parts under all tolerance conditions.

Interference Fit: A fit type where interference exists between assembled parts under all tolerance conditions.

Transition Fit: A fit type where clearance or interference can exist between assembled parts depending on tolerance conditions.

GD&T A means of dimensioning and tolerancing a part with respect to relationship and function of that part. GD&T is used to define how a part feature relates the other part features in the same part or in a mating part; it’s a way to dimension and tolerance with respect to part’s function, the way it works.
