Slip fit tolerance for 37mm dia. part

AI Thread Summary
For a steel component with a diameter of 37mm, a loose slip fit is required for easy insertion and axial stability. The fit should allow the component to fall through when held vertically, suggesting a diameter slightly larger than 37mm, typically around 37.1mm to 37.5mm. Operating temperature is a crucial factor, as thermal expansion can affect the fit; what works at 20°C may not at 100°C. Reliable references for fits and tolerances can be found by searching "fits and tolerances" online. Proper consideration of these factors will ensure the desired functionality of the assembly.

I have a steel component ∅37mm (O.D.) and looking for material/guidelines on a loose tolerance for the housing surrounding it. It needs to be able to fall straight through if held up vertically, easily insertable by hand, while still providing enough axial stability. What's a good diameter for this and is there any reliable references/tables for applications like this? Thanks, much.

I can't help thinking that your range of operating temperatures will have a big impact upon the answer. Something that's a loose "slip fit" at 20° might very well seize at 100°.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
