Question
The following data applies to basic shaft system:
tolerance for hole = ,
tolerance for shaft = ,
allowance = ,
basic size = .The maximum hole size is ______ mm (round off to 3 decimal places).
tolerance for hole = ,
tolerance for shaft = ,
allowance = ,
basic size = .The maximum hole size is ______ mm (round off to 3 decimal places).
Correct answer
50.005 to 50.005
Solution
In a basic shaft system, the upper limit of the shaft is equal to the basic size.
Hole Lower Limit (HLL) = .
1.Shaft Upper Limit (SUL) = Basic Size = .
2.Allowance is the minimum clearance, which is (Hole Lower Limit - Shaft Upper Limit).
Hole Lower Limit (HLL) = .
3.Maximum Hole Size = Hole Lower Limit + Hole Tolerance
Maximum Hole Size = .Continue learning with Success Tracker
