    Chapter 6. Tolerance Stack Up Analysis

    Uploaded by

    Nguyên Bành Quốc
    The document discusses tolerance stack-up analysis, which involves stacking tolerances of parts within an assembly to determine the overall tolerance. It defines key terms like least material condition (LMC), maximum material condition (MMC), virtual condition (VC), and resultant condition (RC). The document outlines the steps in a stack-up analysis, including identifying dimensions to analyze, preparing a loop diagram showing tolerances, and setting up a stack-up table. Examples are provided to illustrate virtual condition, resultant condition, and how to account for geometric tolerances in the analysis.

    Tolerance Stack – Up

    Stack-up analysis is stacking the things within available space


    • What is tolerance stack-up
    • Benefits
    • Factors to be considered for loop diagram
    • Steps in stack-up
    • Examples with or without geometric tolerances
    • Verify the assembly and tolerances
    before it gets manufactured
    • Achieve required fits (optimize the
    fits)
    • Clearance
    • Interference
    • Transition
    • Troubleshot after manufacturing
    Terminologies
    • Least Material Condition (LMC)
    • Maximum Material Condition (MMC)
    • Virtual Condition (VC)
    • Resultant Condition (RC)
    • Bonus Tolerance
    LMC vs MMC
    • MMC: The condition in which a feature of
    size contains the maximum amount of
    material within the stated limits of size
    • Shaft: largest one
    • Hole: smallest one
    • LMC: The condition in which a feature of
    size contains the least amount of material
    within the stated limits of size.
    • Shaft: smallest one
    • Hole: largest one
    Virtual Condition – worst scenario

    • Shaft: what is maximum diameter of


    hole is required in worst case of Shaft.
    VC = MMC + Gtol

    • Hole: what is maximum diameter of a


    shaft it can accommodate in it’s worst
    case of Shaft.
    VC = MMC - Gtol
    Resultant Condition

    Resultant Condition (best case scenario)


    • Shaft: when its diameter is smallest
    • Hole: when its diameter is largest
    Bonus Tolerance
    • Modifier means when the shaft is
    manufactured at its least material
    of condition i.e. the smaller
    diameter there is more tolerances
    given on it.
    Bonus = MMC - LMC
    Shaft:
    VC = MMC + Gtol
    RC = LMC – Gtol – Bonus
    Hole:
    VC = MMC – Gtol
    RC = LMC + Gtol + Bonus
    Dimensioning Schemes

    Chain Dimensioning Combined Dimensioning

    Coordinate Dimensioning
    Baseline Dimensioning
    Assumptions

    The given drawing is complete and has


    dimension scheme is best for design
    Steps in Stack-Up analysis

    • Identify GAP, Thickness, Fit needed to be calculated


    • List the Dimensions those contributes in Gap, Thickness, Fit
    • Prepare a Loop Diagram
    • Same direction tolerance on side and list Their Tolerances
    • Prepare stack-up table (beware of direction in loop)
    Loop Diagram Considerations
    • Loop should be in one direction i.e. vertical, horizontal, or angualr
    • Loop should be close
    • While jumping from one component (in assembly)
    • Axis aligned in case of threads
    • Surface contact between components
    Dimensioning method
    • Limits: Max and min values [50.5 49.5]
    • Unilateral [50-2]
    • Unequal bilateral [50-.3+.5]
    • Equal bilateral [50±]

    Convert or dimensioning into the equal Bilateral Method to do Tolerance Stack-Up


    Geometric Tolerance

    Shaft (Block):
    VC = MMC + Gtol = 22 + 1 = 23
    RC = LMC –Gtol = 18 -1 = 17
    Hole (Slot):
    Convert to equal Bilateral 24 ±2
    Assembly Shift

    • The amount that parts can move during assembly


    due to the clearance between a hole and a fastener, a
    hole and a shaft, a width and a slot (like a key and
    keyway) or between any external feature within an
    internal feature
    • It is a measure of how much parts can move relative
    to one another about their locating features.
    Considerations in Tolerance Stack-up Analysis
    • All parts are considered in a static state:
    • Worst-case static condition, reflecting worst-case misalignment, minimum
    clearance or maximum interference.
    • If more than one posit6iton or orientation of a part must be studied, as in the
    case of a linkage or a mechanism, then a tolerance stackup should be done for
    the considered feature at each important position or orientation
    • Tolerance stackups are performed at a specified temperature.
