Term
Basic Size
Definition
Dimension that is the theoreetical size from which the limits for that dimension are derived, by the application of the allowance and tolerance
Term
Tolerances
Definition
Total permissible variation in size. Different between limits in size.
Term
Limits of Size
Definition
Maximum and minimum sizes permitted for a specific dimension
Term
Allowance
Definition
Intentional difference in size of mating parts.
Term
Minimum Clearance
Definition
Positive Allowance
Term
Maximum Interference
Definition
Negative Allowance
Term
Bilateral Tolerance
Definition
Tolerance that is expressed as plus and minus values. EXAMPLE 0.500 +.006 - .003
Term
Unilateral Tolerance
Definition
Applies in one direction from the specified size, the permissable variation in the other direction is zero.
Term
Fit
Definition
Range of tightness or looseness resulting from allowances and tolerances. 3 types Clearance, Interference, Transition
Term
Clearance Fit
Definition
Clearance always results when parts are assembled. Intended for accurate assembly of parts and bearings. Can be assembled by hand.
Term
Interference Fits
Definition
Interference always results. Hole size is smaller than shaft. Dowel pins, etc. Usually assembled using arbor press.
Term
Transition Fit
Definition
Either clearance or interference can result. Compromise bewtween interference and clearance fits.
Term
Running / Sliding Fits
Definition
Intended to provide suitable lubrication allowance.
Term
Locational Fits
Definition
Intended to determine only the location of the mating parts. 3 Groups: Clearance Fits, Transition Fits, and Interence Fits
Term
Locational Clearance Fits
Definition
Intended for parts that are normally stationary but can be assembled/disassembled easily
Term
Locational Transition Fits
Definition
Compromise between clearance and interfence fits. Used when accuracy of location is important, but small amount of clearance or interference is ok
Term
Locational Interference Fit
Definition
Used where accuaracy of location is of prime importance and for parts requiring rigidity and alignment
Term
Drive and Force Fits
Definition
Special type of interference fit. Normally characterized by constant bore pressures throughout the range of sizes. Interference varies with diameter, small difference bewteen max/min
Term
Standard Inch Fits
Definition
Used for design sketches.
RC - Running and sliding fit
LC - Locational clearance fit
LT - Locational Transition fit
LN - Locational Interference fit
FN - Force or shrink fit
Term
RC1 Precision Sliding Fit
Definition
Intended for accurate location of parts to assemble without perceptible play for high precision work such as gauges
Term
RC2 Sliding Fit
Definition
Intended for the accurate location, but with greater maximum clearance that RC1. Parts move and turn easily but are not intended to run freely
Term
RC2 Sliding Fit
Definition
Intended for the accurate location, but with greater maximum clearance that RC1. Parts move and turn easily but are not intended to run freely
Term
RC3 Precision Running Fit
Definition
Closest fit that can be expected to run freely, intended for precision work, oil lubricated bearings at slow speeds and light journal pressures
Term
RC4 Close Running Fit
Definition
Intended chiefly as a running fit for grease or oil bearingson accurate machinery with moderate surface speeds and journal pressures, where accuarate location and minumum play are desired.
Term
RC5 and RC6 Medium Running Fits
Definition
Intended for higher running speeds and/or temperature variations.
Term
RC7 Free Running Fit
Definition
Accuracy is not essential, and/or large temperature variations are likely
Term
RC8 and RC9 Loose Running Fits
Definition
Used where materials made to commercial tolerances are involved, cold-rolled shafting, tubing, etc
Term
LC1 to LC4
Definition
Minumum zero clearance, but in practice,probablity is that the fit will always have a clerance
Term
LC5 and LC6
Definition
Small minumum clearance intended for close location fits for non-running parts
Term
LC7 to L11
Definition
Progressively larger clearances and tolerances. Loose clearances for bolts, and similar parts.
Term
LT1 and LT2
Definition
Slight clearance, light push fit
Term
LT3 and LT4
Definition
Virtually no clearance, for use where some interference can be tolerated. Referred to as easy keying fit, used for shaft keys, ball race fits. Assembly by hammer or pressure
Term
LT5 and LT6
Definition
Slight interference, appreciable force will be required
Term
LN1 and LN2
Definition
Light Press Fits, small minimum interference. Dowel pins assembled in arbor press in steel, cast iron, or brass. Can be dismantled and reassembled
Term
LN3
Definition
Heavy press fit in steel and brass. Light press fit in elastic material or light alloys
Term
LN1 and LN2
Definition
Light Press Fits, small minimum interference. Dowel pins assembled in arbor press in steel, cast iron, or brass. Can be dismantled and reassembled
Term
LN4 to LN6
Definition
LN4 can be used for permanent assembly of steel parts. These fits are primarily intended as press fits for soft materials
Term
FN1 Light Drive Fit
Definition
Light assembly pressure and produces more or less permanent assemblies. Thin sections or long fits, cast-iron external members
Term
FN2 Medium Drive Fit
Definition
Heavier steel parts, or shrink fit on light sections
Term
FN3 Heavy Drive Fit
Definition
Suitable for heavier steel parts, or shrink fit in medium sections
Term
FN4 and FN5 Force Fits
Definition
Suitable for parts than can be highly stressed
Term
Micrometer
Definition
One millionth of a meter
Term
Roughness Average
Definition
Expressed in mincroinches, micrometers, or roughness grade numbers (N1-N12)
Term
Lay
Definition
Direction of the predominant surface pattern, ordinarily determined by the production method used
Term
Microinch
Definition
One millionth of an inch
Term
Two Principle reasons for surface finish control
Definition
1) Friction Reduction
2) Control of Wear
Term
Taper
Definition
Ratio of the difference in diameters of two sections along a conical-shape part (perpendicular to the axis)
Term
Knurling
Definition
Machining of a surface to create uniform depressions
Term
Undercutting (Necking)
Definition
Cutting of a recess in a cylinder. Listed by width first and then diameter. If radius is present, assumed to be half the width unless specified.
Term

Slope - used as locking devices..taper keys, adjusting shims
Term
Chamfering

Cutting away inside or outside corner to facilitate assembly Never measured along angular surface
Term
Countersunk Hole
Definition
Conical depression cut to recieve a countersunk type of screw or rivet
Term
Counterboled hole
Definition
Machined larger to a given depth to recieve a bolt, filister, hex head
Term
Spotface
Definition
Area is machined just enough to provide level seating for bolt head, nut or washer. Specified by diameter of the hole first, then diameter of spotface. No depth is given
Term
Cutting Plane Line
Definition
Indicates where imaginary cutting takes place in secitonal view
Term
Section Lining
Definition
Identifies surface that has been cut, makes it stand out clearly
Term
Break Lines
Definition
Used to shorten view of long uniform sections
Term
NOT TO SCALE
Definition
Indicated by underlined dimension . Old methods were NTS and wavy lines
Term
Drilling
Definition
Process of using a drill to cut a hole through a solid, or to enlarge an existing hole
Term
Reaming
Definition
Process of sizing a hole to a given diameter with a reamer to produce a hole that is round, smooth,straight and accurate
