  1. What are the upper and lower limits of the shaft represented by 60 f8 ?
    Use the following data :
    Diameter 60 lies in the diameter step of 50-80 mm. Fundamental tolerance unit, i, in μm = 0.45 D1/3 + 0.001 D, where D is the representative size in mm; Tolerance value for IT8 = 25i. Fundamental deviation for f shaft = –5.5 D 0.41

    D = √50 × 80 = 63.25 mm
    i = 0.45(D)1 / 3 + .001 D μm = 1.856 × 10–6 m
    Tolerance = 25i = 46.4 × 10–6 m
    Fundamental deviation δ = –(5.5) D0.41 = –30.113 × 10–6 = 0.030 mm (absolute)
    High limit = Basic size – Fundametal deivation
    High limit = 60 – 0.030 = 59.97
    Lower limit = High limit –Tolerance
    Lower limit = 59.77 – 0.0464 = 59.924mm

    Correct Option: A

  1. A hole is specified as 400.0000.050 mm. The mating shaft has a clearance fit with minimum clearance of 0.01 mm. The tolerance on the shaft is 0.04 mm. The maximum clearance in mm between the hole and the shaft is

    Minimum clearance = Minimum hole size – Maximum shaft size
    ∴ Maximum shaft size = 40.00 – .01 = 39.99 mm
    Tolerance on shaft = 0.04 mm
    Minimum shaft size = 39.99 – 0.04 = 39.95
    Maximum clearance = Maximum hole size – Minimum shaft size
    Maximum clearance = 40.05 – 39.95 = 0.10

    Correct Option: C

    Minimum clearance = Minimum hole size – Maximum shaft size
    ∴ Maximum shaft size = 40.00 – .01 = 39.99 mm
    Tolerance on shaft = 0.04 mm
    Minimum shaft size = 39.99 – 0.04 = 39.95
    Maximum clearance = Maximum hole size – Minimum shaft size
    Maximum clearance = 40.05 – 39.95 = 0.10



  1. In order to have interference fit, it is essential that the lower limit of the shaft should be

    For making interference fit, seeing the figure it is essential that lower limit of shaft should be greater than upper limit of hole.

    Correct Option: A

  1. GO and NO-GO plug gauges are to be designed for a hole 20.000+0.010+0.050 mm. Gauge tolerances can be taken as 10% of the hole tolerance. Following ISO system of gauge design, sizes of GO and NO-GO gauge will be respectively.

    Dimension of hole = 20.000+0.050+0.010
    ∴ Tolerance = 20.05 – 20.01 = 0.04 mm

    Gauge tolerance = 0.04 ×
    10
    = 0.004 mm
    100

    Size of NO – GO gauge = Maximum limit – gauge tolerance
    = 20.05 – 0.004 = 20.046

    Correct Option: D

    Dimension of hole = 20.000+0.050+0.010
    ∴ Tolerance = 20.05 – 20.01 = 0.04 mm

    Gauge tolerance = 0.04 ×
    10
    = 0.004 mm

    Size of NO – GO gauge = Maximum limit – gauge tolerance
    = 20.05 – 0.004 = 20.046



  1. In an interchangeable assembly, shafts of size –25.000+0.040-0.0100 mm mate with holes of size 25.000+0.020-0.000 mm. The maximum possible clearance in the assembly will be

    Minimum shaft size = 25.000 – 0.04 = 24.96 mm Maximum hole size = (25.000 + 0.02) = 25.02 mm

    ∴ Maximum possible clearance = Maximum size of hole – minimum size of shaft
    Maximum possible clearance = 25.02 – 24.96 = 0.060 mm = 60 micron.

    Correct Option: D

    Minimum shaft size = 25.000 – 0.04 = 24.96 mm Maximum hole size = (25.000 + 0.02) = 25.02 mm

    ∴ Maximum possible clearance = Maximum size of hole – minimum size of shaft
    Maximum possible clearance = 25.02 – 24.96 = 0.060 mm = 60 micron.
