Overview:
Tolerance stack-ups are
accumulations of variations on
drawings or in part assemblies.

Gap
Lets look at the largest and smallest gap that we could have.
Largest Gap = (C+c) (A-a) (B-b)
= C (A+B) + (a+b+c)
Smallest Gap = (C-c) (A+a) (B+b)
= C (A+B) (a+b+c)
Consequently the dimension and tolerance of the gap is
effectively:
{C-(A+B)} (a+b+c)
If we have 10 parts (say a clutch pack) that all have to fit into
a housing, the addition of all those tolerances can be
significant.
If controlling the spacing of the clutches is important to
function we have a problem.
Solutions
Tighten up the tolerances on each component
so the sum of the tolerances is lower.
Include a spacer that comes in different sizes
to take up any slack resulting from the
tolerance addition (similar to shimming).
Design so that the tolerance stacks are not
relevant to function.
Consider that the variation in each part is
likely to be statistically distributed.
Example: 2-D
Consider a swing weight governor similar to the one shown
