Dimensions, Tolerance and Assemblies
Dimensions
-
Types of Dimensioning
Parallel Dimensioning (Datum Dimensioning)
-
Superimposed Running Dimensioning
-
Should only be used if the function of the object would not be affected by the accumulation of the tolerance
-
Dimensioning Small Features
Placing arrow heads between the extension lines may make the dimension very difficult to read. Arrow heads can be place outside the extension lines instead
Dimensioning of Multiple Features
To dimension multiple same dimensions, use N x Dimension
-
Dimensioning of Circle, Arc, and Hole
- A circle is dimensioned by its diameter
- An arc is dimensioned by its radius
- Holes are located by their centerlines
Mark with a curved dimension line, and has the degree symbol
Rules of Dimensioning
• Dimensions should not be duplicated, i.e. same dimension should not be repeated on different views, or the same information need not be given in two different ways
-
• Dimension lines, extension lines and object outlines should not cross or overlap
Tolerance
Importance of Tolerance
included with dimensions in engineering drawings to take into account these manufacturing limitations
Types of Tolerance
Allowed to vary in two directions from the specified dimension. Both directions need not vary by the same amount

Calculating Tolerance
Tolerance is defined as the difference between the upper limit of a dimension and the lower limit of the dimension. Its formula is given by: Tolerance = Upper limit – Lower Limit

Assemblies
Clearance Fit
-
Application
• In clearance fit, there would still be an allowance for two parts to move, such as in a door hinge
Interference Fit
-
Application
• In interference fit, it would be difficult to move (or remove) the two interfacing parts. Usually, a lot of force is needed to remove the two parts.
Examples are shafts that are fitted through bearings, so that the shaft does not slip.
