4 Dimension Application and Limits of Size
Clearly apply dimensions by complying with the stated general dimensioning guidelines. • Apply dimensions to any of the geometric shapes commonly found on mechanical parts. • Cite the categories for limits of fit and describe the general condition created by each category. • Calculate and apply limits of size for mating features. • Cite the two rules contained within ASME Y14.5.
Provide examples of the effects that dimensions and tolerances have on manufacturing. • Complete a surface condition specification when provided the allowable variations.
Cylinders • Diameter and length required • Prefer dimensions on noncircular view • Diameter dimension usually between the views • Only one view may be necessary • Diameter symbol required for circular dimension
Cones • Right circular cone • Base diameter and cone height • Base diameter and cone angle • Oblique circular cone • Base diameter, cone height, apex offset
Holes—Specifying Location • Hole center • Centerlines and extension lines used • Centerlines between holes • Extension lines beyond holes • Dimensions on one side of view
Holes—Specifying Depth • Assumed to go through part, unless depth is specified • When not clear, use THRU • Use depth symbol for blind holes • Depth specified after the diameter
Angles • Angle specification notation • Degrees—30 • Minutes—3015 • Seconds—301528 • Decimal—30.25 • Center of dimension line arc at vertex of angle • Extension lines, if extended, intersect at vertex of angle
Chamfers • Eliminates sharp edge • Facilitates assembly • 45° chamfers may be dimensioned by a note • Dimensioning chamfers other than 45° • Dimension angle and length of one side • Dimension lengths of both sides of chamfer
Features on Curved Surfaces • Location • Angle • Chord • Arc length
Spherical Radii • SR in front of dimension • Dimension to outside surface • Easier to produce • Easier to verify
Symmetrical Features • Only one side of symmetry line requires dimensions • Two short lines across each end of center line indicates line of symmetry • Partial or half views allowed
Threads • Minimum information • Nominal size • Threads per inch • Thread form • Thread class • Example • .750-10UNC-2A
Knurls • Machined on cylindrical shapes • Increase friction between parts • Improve grip and appearance • Diametral pitch and shape required • Diameter before knurl required
Sheet Metal Bends • Locate surface intersections or intersecting faces • Specify inside or outside bend radius, but not both • Material type and thickness dictates undimensioned bend radius
Sheet Metal Joggles • Information needed • Location • Height • Length • Bend radius
Standard Sizes and Shapes • Reduces production costs • Dimensions not needed for standard materials • National standards maintain uniformity
Broken Lengths • Long parts have portion removed • Reduces drawing space • Dimension not broken • Dimension value reflects complete part
Limits of Size • General tolerance in notes acceptable • Tolerance on size dimension • Limit dimensions • Bilateral tolerances • Unilateral tolerances • Single limit tolerances
Limit Dimensions • Specifies minimum and maximum • Maximum size above minimum • In a note, minimum size before maximum
Plus and Minus Tolerances • May be bilateral or unilateral • Bilateral tolerance may be equal or unequal
Tolerances on Angles • Limit dimensions • Plus-and-minus tolerances • Orientation tolerances • Single limit not practical
Basic Hole System • Preferred system • Limits of size for hole calculated first • Typically use standard tool sizes for hole
Basic Shaft System • May require nonstandard tools for hole • Used when purchasing shaft and mating hole is specified
Calculating Size Limits Using Standard Tables • Function of parts considered • Descriptions of general applications provided • Determine class of fit • Determine tolerance values • Tolerance is proportional to size of feature
Running and Sliding Clearance Fits • Parts move freely • 9 classes of fit • RC1 through RC9
Location Clearance Fits • Locating parts without interference • 11 classes of fit • LC1 through LC11
Location Transition Fits • Locating parts with slight clearance or interference • 6 classes of fit • LT1 through LT6
Location Interference Fits • Locating parts with a press fit (interference) • Not for transmitting loads • 3 classes of fit • LN1 through LN3
Force Fits • Locating parts with a press fit (interference) • Bore pressure constant through range • 5 classes of fit • FN1 through FN5
Limit Calculations Using Tables • Select a class of fit • Select a category of fit from the class • Find appropriate tolerance table • Locate nominal size in table • Calculate tolerances
Rules in ASME Y14.5 • Rule #1: Perfect form at MMC • Exceptions to Rule #1 • Parts subject to free state variations • Stock materials • Rule #2: RFS and RMB assumed
Machine Capability • Each machine type is uniquely capable • Each machining program for a part is uniquely capable • Smaller tolerances generally equal larger costs • Know your company and supplier’s capabilities • Machining handbooks provide general capabilities
Dimension Revision • Change geometry in CAD • Out-of-scale dimension to be avoided • Reasons for revisions • Design changes • Corrections • Manufacturing-based changes
Surface Texture Dimensions • Determined by function • Surface variations • Roughness • Waviness • Lay • Roughness width • Roughness width cutoff • Roughness cutoff • Sampling length
Explain how a single view can be dimensioned to completely define a cylindrical part. • Create one view that shows both the length and diameter of the cylinder and apply both the length and diameter dimensions to the created view.
List the classes of fit. • Running and sliding clearance, location clearance, location transition, location interference, force fits
Calculate the tolerance for a hole that will accept a purchased shaft with the dimension .5.001, and provide a clearance of min .0012, max .0038 (RC6). • Min hole = .501 + .0012 = .5022 • Max hole = .499 + .0038 = .5028 • (Max clearance comes from tol table) • hole tol + min clearance + shaft tol
How can an exception to Rule #1 be specified? • Place the independency symbol adjacent to the excepted dimensions to indicate perfect form at MMC is not required.
