General Information

The tolerances and wear limits indicated in this publication are intended as a guide for the examination of engine components
during inspection and repair.

Explanation of terms for dimensions of new components

H6
Tol. size Designed size followed by a letter/number symbol (e.g. 24 ) or by the permissible dimensional
+0.013
deviation (e.g. 24 )
Basic size Designed size without fit symbol or quotation of dimensional deviation
Deviation Permissible deviation from the basic or toleranced size,
indicated by the upper and lower limits
Clearance Difference between bore and shaft diameters
when bore diameter is greater than shaft diameter
Interference Difference between bore and shaft diameters
when bore diameter is smaller than shaft diameter

Explanation of terms for reconditioning and operational limits

Wear limit The limit dimensions specified do not represent the absolute maximum values permissible for
satisfactory engine operation.
They indicate that the next basic overhaul can be reached safely.
If a limit value is exceeded, the component must be replaced.
Reconditioning If values exceed or drop below limit values, the components must be reconditioned in
instructions accordance with the relevant reconditioning instructions or replaced.

Deviations from roundness, cylindricity, parallelism and coaxiality must be within specified limit values, unless exceptions are
specifically indicated.
All dimensions are given in "mm", unless alternative units of measurement are specifically indicated.

Preliminary Note 00

Data Sheets
To ensure that unusable components are not installed or components which can still be used are not discarded all
inspection work should only be carried out by qualified personnel using the necessary measuring instruments.
All measuring and testing equipment is naturally subject to wear.
To determine resulting tolerance deviations in good time, the measuring and test equipment must be inspected
annually at a location equipped with appropriate technical facilities.
Alternatively, equipment can be inspected by our Product Support Service and MTU, Friedrichshafen, or DDC, or
by an external product support service.
Adherence to the limits specified in this Tolerances and Wear Limits List is mandatory.
The following data sheet should be used to record the examination results:
