How Shaft and Hole Fits Work
Quando se aplica
Use this guide when drawings show letters and grades but the assembly intent still feels ambiguous in review meetings.

- 1Determine whether the interface needs sliding, location, or press behavior.
- 2Map nominal size to standard tolerance grades for shaft and hole.
- 3Compute worst-case clearance or interference from limits.
- 4Compare against assembly process constraints (press force, thermal shrink, lubrication).
- 5Coordinate with inspection on measurable features and datum scheme.
Exemplos
- Sliding gear on shaft vs interference bearing seat.
- Location pin that must not seize during thermal expansion.
O que evitar
- Ignoring surface finish and deformation in tight interference fits.
- Mixing ISO and imperial tolerance systems without conversion discipline.
- Assuming nominal always assembles when limits overlap badly in worst case.

FAQ
Does this replace GD&T?
No. It supports fit sizing, not full datum referencing.
Temperature effects?
Add thermal expansion checks when service temperature spans are wide.
