Executive Summary

I. Problem Statement

For a No. 7 ball bearing, the New Departure Handbook states that the
maximum bore should be 1.3780 in. and the minimum, 1.3775 in.; for
average conditions, the shaft should have a maximum diameter of 1.3784
in. and a minimum of 1.3779 in. Determine the corresponding tolerances
and allowances.

Methods of Solution
Given:
Maximum bore: 1.3780 in
Minimum bore: 1.3775 in
Maximum diameter: 1.3784 in
Minimum diameter: 1.3779 in
Required:
1. Tolerances
2. Allowances
Solution:
For No. 7 ball bearing
Bore, 1.3780 in – 1.3775 in = 0.0005 in
Therefore,
+0.0005
D = 1.3775 in
-0.0000

Shaft, 1.3784 in – 1.3775 in = 0.0009 in

1.3779 in – 1.3775 in = 0.0004 in
+0.0000
D = 1.3784 in
-0.0005

Tolerances
Hole, in. Shaft, in.
+0.0005 +0.0009
-0.0000 +0.0004

Allowances = 0.0009 in – 0.0000 in = 0.0009 in

Result:
Tolerances

Hole, in. Shaft, in.

+0.0005 +0.0009
-0.0000 +0.0004
Allowances = 0.0009 in – 0.0000 in = 0.0009 in

II. Problem Statement

For a roller bearing having a bore of 65 mm. an SKF catalog states that the
largest diameter should be 2.5591 in. and the smallest, 2.5585 in. If this bearing is
to be used in a gear transmission, it is recommended for the shaft (where the
bearing fits) to have a maximum diameter of 2.5600 in. and a minimum of 2.5595
in. Determine the tolerances and allowances (or interferences of metal) for this
installation.
Methods of Solution:
Given:
Bore = 65 mm
Largest diameter = 2.5591 in
Smallest diameter = 2.5585 in
Maximum diameter = 2.5600 in
Minimum diameter = 2.5595 in

Required:
1. Tolerances
2. Allowances
3. Interferences

Solution:
65 mm = 2.5591 in
2.5591 – 2.5585 = 0.0006 in
2.5600 – 2.5585 = 0.0015 in
 2.5595 – 2.5585 = 0.0010 in

Tolerances
Hole, in. Shaft, in.
+ 0.0006 + 0.0015
- 0.0000 + 0.0010

Allowances = 0.0015 – 0.0000 = 0.0015 in

Maximum interference = 0.0015 in

Minimum interference = 0.0010 – 0.0006 = 0.0004 in

Result:

Tolerances

Hole, in. Shaft, in.

+ 0.0006 + 0.0015
-0.0000 + 0.0010

Allowances = 0.0015 – 0.0000 = 0.0015 in

Maximum interference = 0.0015 in

Minimum interference = 0.0010 – 0.0006 = 0.0004 in
III. Problem Statement
A cast-iron gear is to be shrunk onto a 3-in, steel shaft. Determine
the tolerance, the maximum and minimum interferences of metal for class
FN 1 fit.

Methods of Solution
Given:
D = 3 in.

Required:
1. Tolerances
2. Maximum interference
3. Minimum interference

Solution:
For class FN 1 fit, Table 3.2

Tolerances
Hole, in. Shaft, in.
+ 0.0007 + 0.0019
-0.0000 + 0.0014

Maximum interference = 0.0019 in

Minimum interference = 0.0014 – 0.0007 = 0.0007 in
Result:
Tolerances

Hole, in. Shaft, in.

+ 0.0007 + 0.0019
-0.0000 + 0.0014

Maximum interference = 0.0019 in

Minimum interference = 0.0014 – 0.0007 = 0.0007 in
