![]() ![]() On the other hand, for machinists, machining to the nominal dimension with an asymmetrical tolerance range would feel similar to driving a vehicle closely to one side of the lane but far away from the other side, rather than staying in the middle of the lane. The designers wanted to make sure that a 1.5-in drill is used, so the hole can’t be smaller than 1.5 in, except for the tolerance of the drill itself, which is 0.005 in. ![]() A drawing with asymmetrical tolerance ranges. Figure 1 shows a drawing that he encountered, in which a hole diameter was defined as 1.5 in with a tolerance range of +0.0035 to -0.005 in, along with other asymmetrical tolerance requirements.įigure 1. Prashant Kulkarni shared his experiences with GE Power and Water. ![]() If you are a designer, where would you specify asymmetrical tolerances? If you are a machinist, how would you handle asymmetrical tolerances? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comment area below. Have you ever defined asymmetrical tolerance requirements in your designs? Does this type of tolerances look familiar? A nominal width size of 110 mm with a tolerance range from+0.15 to -0.25 mm, or a nominal hole diameter of 85 mm with a unilateral tolerance window of -0.05 to -0.25 mm, requiring both limits on the smaller side of the nominal diameter. ![]()
