Question
A shaft of diameter is assembled in a hole of diameter . Match the allowance and limit parameter in Column I with its corresponding quantitative value in Column II for this shaft-hole assembly.
| Allowance and limit parameter (Column I) | Quantitative value (Column II) |
|---|---|
| P Allowance | 1 0.09 mm |
| Q Maximum clearance | 2 24.96 mm |
| R Maximum material limit for hole | 3 0.04 mm |
| 4 25.0 mm |
Correct answer
(A) P-3, Q-1, R-4
Solution
First, determine the limits for the shaft and the hole:
- Shaft: , .
- Hole: , .
- P. Allowance: Defined as the minimum clearance (or maximum interference). For a clearance fit, Allowance . (Matches 3)
- Q. Maximum clearance: . (Matches 1)
- R. Maximum material limit for hole: This is the size of the hole when it has the maximum amount of material, which is its minimum diameter. . (Matches 4)
