Sol:

(i) Hole: Tolerance = High limit Low limit

= 25.05 25.00 = 0.05 mm
(ii) Shaft: Tolerance = High limit Low limit
= 24.98 24.95 = 0.03 mm
(iii) Allowance = Low limit of hole High limit of Shaft
= maximum metal condition of hole maximum metal
condition of shaft
= 25.00 24.98 = 0.02 mm
Q2. A 50 mm diameter shaft is made to rotate in the
bush. The tolerances for both shaft and bush are 0.050
mm. Determine the dimension of the shaft and the bush
to give a maximum clearance of 0.075 mm with hole
basis system.
Sol: in the hole basis system lower deviation of hole is
zero. Therefore low limit of hole = 50 mm.
High limit of hole = low limit + tolerance
= 50.00 + 0.050 = 50.050 mm
High limit of shaft = low limit of hole allowance
= 50.00 0.075 = 49.025 mm
Low limit of shaft = high limit tolerance
= 49.025 0.050 = 48.975 mm
 Q6. In an assembly of two parts 50 mm nominal diameter,
the lower deviation of the hole is zero and the higher is 4
microns; while that of shaft is 4 and 8 microns
respectively. Estimate the allowance and state the type of
fit of the assembly.
Sol.
Hole size: H.L of hole = 50.004 mm
L.L of hole = 50.000 mm
Shaft size: H.L of shaft = 50 0.004 = 49.996 mm
L.L of shaft = 50 0.008 = 49.992 mm
Minimum allowance = L.L of hole H.L of shaft
= 50.000 49.996 = 10.004 mm.
Q7. Between two mating parts of 100 mm basic size, the
actual interference fit is to be from 0.05 mm to 0.12 mm.
The tolerance for hole is the same as the tolerance for the
shaft. Find the size of both the shaft and the hole on (a)
hole basis unilateral system and (b) shaft basis unilateral
system.
Sol. (a) Hole basis system:
L.L of hole = 100.00 mm
Maximum interference = 0.12 mm
Maximum interference takes place between High limit of
shaft and Low limit of hole.
Therefore, High limit of shaft = L.L of hole + Max.
interference.
= 100.00 + 0.12 = 100.12 mm
(b) Shaft basis system

H.L of shaft = 100 mm (Basic size)

Max. interference = 0.12 mm
Therefore, L.L of hole = H.L of shaft Max. interference
= 100.00 0.12 = 99.88 mm
As the difference in interference is 0.07 mm and the tolerance of
both being the same, it will be 0.035 mm as above.
Therefore, L.L of shaft = 100 0.035 = 99.965 mm
And H.L. of hole = L.L of hole + Tolerance
= 99.88 + 0.035 = 99.915 mm
Therefore, on the shaft basis system sizes are
(i) Hole: 99.915 and 99.880 mm, and
(ii) Shaft: 100.000 and 99.965 mm.
