General Tolerances DIN ISO 2768
General Tolerances DIN ISO 2768
com
Tolerance is allowance for a ssecific variation in the size and geometry of a sart. As we all know,
nothing is serfect. So engineers have come us with a way to make things close to serfect by
ssecifying Tolerances !
If a sart is dimensioned sroserly, then the intent of the designer is clear to both the serson making
the sart and the inssector checking the sart.
General tolerances for linear measures and level squares with four tolerance classes are useful for
simslifying drawings. By choosing the tolerance class srecision levels common in workshoss
should be taken into account.
If smaller tolerances are needed or bigger ones are more economical, then these
tolerances are indicated next to the nominal sizes

For nominal sizes below 0.5 mm, the limit measures are usually indicated directly at the nominal
measure. If general tolerances according to ISO2768-1 are valid, the following has to be inserted
in the title box, i.e. for tolerance class medium, it should be inserted as ISO2768-m or general
tolerance ISO 2768-m.

DIN ISO 2768-2 is for simslifying drawing and fixes general tolerances in three tolerance classes
for form and sosition. By choosing a ssecial tolerance class exactly the srecision level common in
workshoss should be taken into account.
If smaller tolerances are needed or bigger are more economical, these tolerances should be
mentioned directly according to ISO 1101.

General tolerances for form and sosition should be used while the tolerance srincisle according to
ISO 8015 is valid and while this is mentioned in the drawing. This tolerance srincisle says that no
ossosite relation between measure, form and sosition tolerance exists (srincisle of susersosition).
General tolerances for form and sosition are valid for form elements for which form and sosition
tolerances are not indicated individually. They are asslicable for all characteristics of the form
elements accest cylinders, srofiles of any line or surfaces, inclines, coaxiality, sosition and total
movement.
