7.6: Fits and Clearances Flashcards

Q
A

is not possible to maintain constantly

i.e A one inch shaft - nominal size. Not possible to manufacture exactly 1.00000’’ so a tolerance must be used, and also integrated with fits and clearances

A bi-lateral tolerance

Bilateral tolerance is the amount of variation above or below the design size Example 3.75 +/- 0.05

Unilateral tolerance is the amount of variation in one direction either above or below the design size Example 3.75 +0.05/-0.00

Q
A

May require force to assemble parts

Clearance Fit - a clearance fit is one having limits of size defined such that a clearance always results when mating parts are assembled.

Interference fit - an interference fit is one having limits of size so prescribed that an interference always results when mating parts are assembled.

Transition fit - a transition fit is one having limits of size so prescribed that either a clearance or an interference may result when mating parts are assembled

Q

Go/ No Go gauge

Ovality

This usually occurs as a result of the surface wearing, through friction or linear movement. Ovality can apply equally to holes and shafts.

Holes may be tested for ovality, using such instruments as Go/No-Go gauges, internal micrometers, or callipers, as were previously discussed in the tools module.

Testing roundness of a shaft may be achieved by placing the shaft to be tested on a V-block and rotating under a scribing block or a dial test indicator (this same method may be used to checking shafts for bow)

Q
A

Yes by means of a strain gauge

'’Solid or tubular shafts that must be checked for twist will possibly have witness marks or lines engraved or etched at each end of the shaft. The shafts can be checkedm by mounting the shaft in V blocks and, then, locating these marks in the horizontal position.

It is possible to measure the amount of twist, to which a shaft is subjected, whilst in operation of rotationm using strain gauges. These emit varying amounts of electric current when under strain, giving an indication (on a calibrated instrument) of the load being applied.’’

Q
A

Holes can be drilled and reamed using standard size drill reamers

If the shaft is constant and the hole varies in size, then the system is said to be ‘shaft-based’.

If the hole is constand and the shaft varies in size, then the system is ‘hole based’.

The hole based system is the one in more general use

Q

Where is the Hole base system of fits and clearances more common and why?

A

Hole based system of fits and clearances is more common in Europe because holes can be drilled and reamed using standard size drills and reamers
