    Drawing Tolerance

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the interpretation of the technical drawing tolerance specified as 85mm diameter H7s6 for a shaft and bearing bush. The H7 designation indicates a hole tolerance, while the s6 indicates the shaft tolerance, defining a medium press fit. This means that the nominal diameter remains the same, but the tolerances applied result in the bearing having a smaller diameter than the shaft. Resources like Google limits and fits tables are recommended for further clarification on tolerances.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of technical drawing conventions
  • Knowledge of tolerance classifications (H7, s6)
  • Familiarity with fit types (medium press fit)
  • Ability to interpret engineering specifications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "ISO 286 tolerance system" for detailed tolerance definitions
  • Explore "Google limits and fits" for comprehensive tables on fits
  • Learn about "Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)" principles
  • Study "Mathematical calculations for tolerances" to apply in design
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, design engineers, and anyone involved in creating or interpreting technical drawings and tolerances in engineering projects.

Hi there,

I have a technical drawing considering a shaft and a bearing bush (to slip on). The dawing says 85mm diameter H7s6 and I was wondering what does it mean and how can i figure out the tolerances regarding to H7s6, any mathemtical explanation or a online table to look after?

Thanks in advance.

Spheric.

P.S.> I love this page

Google limits and fits. Should come up with loads of tables based on different standards.

Capital letter is a hole tolerance, small letters are the shaft tolerance.

The H7s6 is the fit.

Which looks like a medium press fit iirc, which makes sense for a shaft and bearing.

Ie the nominal diameter is the same, but when tolerances are applied the bearing will have a smaller diameter than the shaft.
