 TRUE POSITION

Definition:
• Describes the perfect (exact) location of
 a point,
line, or
plane of a feature in relationship with a datum reference or other feature.
 TRUE POSITION TOLERANCE

• The total permissible variation in the location of feature about its true
position.
• For cylindrical features- eg: holes, bosses etc.,
TPT – Diameter of the tolerance zone within which the axis of feature must
lie.
 MERITS OF TRUE POSITION
 Logical tolerance zone.
Eliminated-Cumulative errors of dimensions.
Not just dimensional offsets, the tilt or angular are measured.

Types of position tolerance

• Position tolerance are grouped into 3 types

• Single segment position tolerance

• Composite segment position tolerance

• Multi segment position tolerance

Single segment position tolerance
Composite position tolerance
• Composite position tolerance is used in the case of patterns
Rules of application
• It can be applied only to a set of multiple features(pattern of
holes)
• The upper segment controls the location of the pattern
• The lower segment controls the spacing and orientation of the
pattern
• The tolerance value of the lower segment should always be a
refinement of the upper segment
• The datum references should be the same in the both
segments
Multiple single segment tolerance

• Each segment is independent

• Each line controls position and/or orientation to the specified datum
Composite vs single segment tolerance
True Position –Location of Hole
True Position – Hole size and location using MMC

FASTENER ASSEMBLY
• FIGURE :1 FLOATING FASTENER ASSEMBLY
Floating fastener assembly formula:
T=H-F

T-clearance hole location tolerance at MMC

H-clearance hole at MMC diameter
F-fasteners MMC diameter
• Tolerance frame:1 clearance hole LMC diameter
• Clearance hole at LMC= (F + Fhead)/2

• Tolerance frame:2 Floating fastener dimensions and

tolerances
• Tolerance frame:3 clearance hole location tolerance (T)

• Tolerance frame:4 clearance hole with zero position

tolerance at MMC
• Tolerance frame:5 clearance hole MMC diameter (H)

• H= 0.250 + O.020
 FIXED FASTENER ASSEMBLY
• Fastener is restrained in one of the components of the assembly.

• Holes in one component-clearance holes.

• Holes in other component-threaded holes.

T= position tolerance diameter

H=MMC of the clearance hole
F=MMC of the fastener
EXAMPLE
 SOLUTION

• H=MMC of the clearance hole = minimum diameter of the clearance hole

H=14.4 mm
• F=MMC of the fastener = maximum diameter of the fastener
F=14 mm
