Partner A: Ask the questions.Partner B: Answer the questions. • What does tolerance mean in engineering? Tolerances are acceptable variations in precision. Instead of giving one precise size, a tolerance gives a range of accebtable sizes. • If you have a shaft with a diameter of 30 mm ± 0.5 mm, what is within tolerance? What is outside tolerance? Shafts with a diameter of 29.5 to 30.5 mm are within tolerance. Less than 29.5 and more than 30.5 mm are outside tolerance. • What is a tight tolerance? A very small permissible deviation in size
Partner B: Ask the questions.Partner A: Answer the questions. • What is a loose tolerance? • What is a clearance fit? Can you give an example? • What is an interference fit? Can you give an example?
Partner B: Ask the questions.Partner A: Answer the questions. • What is a loose tolerance? A large permissible deviation in size • What is a clearance fit? Can you give an example? It allows a component to play freely by leaving clearance between itself and the sides of the hole. It is used in shafts. • What is an interference fit? Can you give an example? It is a very tight fit, and it doesn’t allow a component to move freely. It is done by forcing a component into a hole or by heating a component. It is used in train wheels.
