Engineering Drawing: Pin/Bore Tolerances

In summary, the conversation covers the determination of the minimum and maximum nominal diameters for line-to-line interference and clearance, respectively. The smaller bore diameter and larger bore diameter are taken into account, along with a concentricity constraint of 0.01mm. The understanding of the concept is confirmed and encouragement is given to continue with calculations and analysis.

None

The Attempt at a Solution



a = 4.99mm
b = 10.01mm

So for 'a', to find the minimum possible nominal diameter for line-to-line interference, I assumed the diameter of the smaller bore to be 4.98mm. Also, there's a concentricity constraint of 0.01mm which is as low as it gets, and so minimum = 4.99mm

For 'b', to find the maximum nominal diameter for line-to-line clearance, I assumed the diameter of the largest bore to be 10.02mm. Again, applying the concentricity constraint, it'd be 10.01mm.

I just want to check if I understand the concept correctly.

Hi there,

Your understanding of the concept is correct. The minimum nominal diameter for line-to-line interference is determined by the smaller bore diameter, taking into account the concentricity constraint. Similarly, the maximum nominal diameter for line-to-line clearance is determined by the larger bore diameter, also taking into account the concentricity constraint. Keep up the good work in your calculations and analysis!
 

Related to Engineering Drawing: Pin/Bore Tolerances

1. What is an engineering drawing?

An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing that provides detailed and accurate information about a part or product. It includes dimensions, tolerances, and other specifications that are necessary for manufacturing and assembly.

2. What are pin/bore tolerances?

Pin/bore tolerances refer to the permissible deviation in size between a pin and a hole. In other words, it is the acceptable amount of variation in dimensions that still allows for the pin to fit into the hole with proper clearance.

3. Why are pin/bore tolerances important?

Pin/bore tolerances are important because they ensure proper fit and functionality of mechanical components. If the tolerances are too tight, the parts may not fit together, and if they are too loose, the parts may have too much play and not function as intended.

4. How are pin/bore tolerances determined?

Pin/bore tolerances are determined by considering factors such as the size and shape of the pin and hole, the material of the parts, and the intended use of the assembly. Generally, the tighter the tolerances, the more precise the manufacturing process and the higher the cost.

5. What are the different types of pin/bore tolerances?

The most common types of pin/bore tolerances are clearance and interference. Clearance tolerances allow for some space or gap between the pin and the hole, while interference tolerances require the pin to be pressed or forced into the hole for a tight fit. Other types include transition, unilateral, and bilateral tolerances, which vary in their application and level of precision.
