The Attempt at a Solution


I read about the virtual condition http://www.symphonytech.com/articles/GDT_Design.htm
but I don't really understand the approach used to solve the problem and was wondering if someone could explain the solution. where does the MMC come into the the solution?

  • Engineering diagram of a pin in a clevis linkage with a snap ring and groove, showing the pin dimension C plus or minus delta, the clevis width 1.000 plus or minus 0.002 in, and the resulting gap, with worked tolerance text beside it giving the answer 1.000 in with tolerance +0.138/-0.006 in.

That article is not very helpful .

Your problem can be solved with simple arithmetic .

Just see if you can work out the maximum and minimum possible values of dimension C so that the clearance gap always stays within stated limits for any variation of the clevis dimension .
