8 Position Tolerancing Fundamentals
Complete feature control frames for position tolerances, properly using the diameter symbol, material condition modifiers, and datum references. • Sketch the proper location and shape for position tolerance zones. • Describe the effect of an MMC, LMC, or RFS modifier on a position tolerance.
Provide examples that prove the validity of the MMC concept as it applies to position tolerances. • Calculate position tolerances for simple fixed and floating fastener conditions. • Calculate the allowable bonus tolerance for a produced part on which a position tolerance is specified at MMC.
Position Tolerances • May be used on single or multiple features • Tolerance zone shape determined by functional requirements for feature • Material condition modifiers are appropriate
Basic Dimensions • Must be used to define location when position tolerances are applied to features • Defines true position
Floating Fastener Condition • Fastener passes through multiple clearance holes • Common to use same size clearance holes for all parts, but not required
Floating Fastener Tolerance Calculation Hole = .328.004 Fastener = .312 MMC Tolerance = Hole (MMC) – Fastener (MMC) T = .324 – .312 T = .012
Floating Fastener Hole Calculation Tolerance = .012 Fastener = .312 MMC Hole = Tolerance + Fastener (MMC) H = .012 + .312 H = .324 (MMC)
Fixed Fastener Condition • Fastener passes through multiple holes, one fixes fastener location • Fastener fixed by threads, press fit, or taper
Fixed Fastener Tolerance Calculation Hole = .296.003 Fastener = .250 MMC Tolerance = [Hole (MMC) – Fastener (MMC)]/2 T = (.293 – .250)/2 T = .0215
Fixed Fastener Hole Calculation Tolerance = .0215 Fastener = .250 MMC Hole = 2 Tolerance + Fastener (MMC) H = (2 .0215) + .250 H = .293 (MMC)
Advantages of Position Tolerances over Coordinate Tolerances • Clearer definition of requirements • Is no standard defining coordinate location tolerances • Increased tolerance zone area • Bonus tolerance is available
Paper Gaging Position Variation • Center of graph is true position • Plot delta coordinate values for feature locations on graph • Create concentric circles representing tolerance zones at same scale as the graph grid
Counterbored Holes—Application Options • One position tolerance to control hole and counterbore • Separate position tolerances for the hole and counterbore • Counterbore position tolerance referenced to the hole location
Threads—Application • Position tolerance applied to pitch axis • Position tolerance may be applied to minor or major diameter in rare cases
Noncylindrical Features of Size • Slots, tabs, rails • No diameter symbol in the feature control frame • Do not place the feature control frame on an extension line • Defines the total width of the tolerance zone
