POSITION TOLERANCES

USED TO SPECIFY THE REQUIRED LOCATION ACCURACY FOR FEATURES OF SIZE ONE FEATURE CONTROL FRAME CAN BE USED TO SHOW THE POSITION OF A SINGLE HOLE OR AN ENTIRE PATTERN OF HOLES MOST COMMONLY USED FOR HOLES/SLOTS

POSITION TOLERANCES
DATUM FEATURES ARE IDENTIFIED LOCATES THE DATUM REFERENCE FROM WHICH THE HOLE LOCATIONS ARE MEASURES BASIC DIMENSIONS LOCATE THE TRUE POSITIONS FOR THE HOLES FEATURE CONTROL FRAME DEFINES THE SIZE OF THE TOLERANCE ZONE

A POSITION TOLERANCE ZONE WILL USUALLY HAVE A DEFINED SHAPE, SIZE, LOCATION, AND ORIENTATION. A DIAMETER SYMBOL INDICATES SHAPE

BASIC DIMENSIONS & TRUE POSITIONS

THE TRUE POSITION IS THE LOCATION ON WHICH TO CENTER THE SPECIFIED TOLERANCE ZONE.

THE SPECIFIED TOLERANCE VALUE REMAINS CONSTANT REGARDLESS OF THE PRODUCED SIZE OF THE TOLERANCED PART

MMC APPLIED TO POSITIONAL TOLERANCING

IF THE CONTROLLED FEATURE IS PRODUCED AT ANY ALLOWABLE SIZE OTHER THAN MMC, THE POSITION TOLERANCE VALUE INCREASES AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE MMC.

HOLE POSITIONING AT MMC

LMC POSITIONING
THE POSITION TOLERANCE VALUE INCREASES AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEPARTURE FROM LMC

HOW FIT AFFECTS POSITION TOLERANCES

DEPARTURE FROM MMC INCREASES LOCATION ERRORS THE PERMITTED POSITION TOLERANCE INCREASES BY EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT AS THE FEATURE DEPARTS FROM MMC

COMPOSITE POSITION TOLERANCES

A COMPOSITE TOLERANCE HAS ONLY ONE POSITION TOLERANCE SYMBOL

COMPOSITE POSITION TOLERANCES

COMPOSITE TOLERANCES
WHENEVER DATUM REFERENCES ARE SHOWN IN THE SECOND LINE OF A COMPOSITE TOLERANCE, THEY MUST BE REPEATED AS SHOWN IN THE FIRST LINE WITH THE SAME MATERIAL CONDITION MODIFIERS.

FLOATING FASTENER
T = TOLERANCE H = HOLE DIA AT MMC F = FASTENER DIA AT MMC

FLOATING FASTENER PRACTICE CALCULATION

FLOATING FASTENER EXAMPLE 2

CALCULATE THE POSITION TOLERANCE FOR A FLOATING FASTENER APPLICATION. GIVEN HOLE DIAMETER = .328 +/- .004 FASTENER DIAMETER = .312 MMC
T=HF .324 - .312 = .012 T = .012

FIXED FASTENER
FASTENER LOCATION CAN BE FIXED BY THREADS, PRESS FIT, OR TAPER THAT PREVENTS MOVEMENT OF THE FASTENER

FIXED FASTENER CALCULATION

FIXED FASTENER CALCULATION

CALCULATE THE POSITION TOLERANCE FOR A FIXED FASTENER HOLE DIA = .296 +/- .003 FASTENER DIA = .250 MMC
T = (H F) /2 T = (.293 - .250) /2 T = .043/2 T = .0215

COAXIAL HOLE PATTERNS

COAXIAL HOLES CAN HAVE DIFFERENT DIAMETERS A COMPOSITE TOLERANCE CAN BE APPLIED TO COAXIAL HOLES OF DIFFERENT DIAMETERS THE ALIGNMENT OF THE COAXIAL HOLES MUST BE ACCURATE ENOUGH TO INSERT THE SHAFT THAT PASSES THOUGH THEM.

USED TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF ACCEPTABLE ERROR CAN BE USED TO REWORK HOLES THAT ARE OUT OF TOLERANCE BY REDRILLING HOLES TO A LARGER DIAMETER ALLOWABLE INCREASE IN THE TOLERANCE IS KNOWN AS THE BONUS TOLERANCE

BONUS TOLERANCES

THE BONUS TOLERANCE AND THE SPECIFIED POSITION TOLERANCE ARE ADDED TOGETHER TO DETERMINE THE ALLOWABLE POSITION TOLERANCE.

BONUS TOLERANCES
POSITION TOLERANCES APPLIED TO EXTERNAL FEATURES ARE AFFECTED BY MATERIAL MODIFIERS IN THE SAME MANNER AS TOLERANCES ON HOLES/INTERNAL FEATURES
