Fits and its typs

Wednesday 10 July 2013
   Fit is defined as a degree of tightness or looseness between two mating parts to perform definite function when they are assembled together.
   A fit may result either in a movable joint or a fixed joint. For example, a shaft running in a bearing can move in relation to it and thus forms a movable joint, where as, a pulley mounted on the shaft forms a fixed joint.

   Types of Fits:
        There are 3 types of fits. They are
i) Clearance fit
ii) Transition fit
iii) Interference fit

Clearance fit: In this type of fit the shaft diameter is always less than the hole diameter. For any given shaft and hole assembly clearance fit can be decided by the statement as according to the limits if the upper limit size of the shaft is less than the lower limit size of the hole then that type of fit is known as clearance fit. So that the shaft can slide or rotate through different degree of freedom according to the purpose of the mating parts.
     Maximum clearance: It is the difference between the maximum size of the hole and minimum size of the shaft.
     Minimum clearance: It is the difference between the minimum size of the hole and maximum size of the shaft.

                                                          Clearance Fit

 Interference fit: In this type of fit the minimum diameter of the shaft is always greater than the maximum size of the hole. This type of fit between the shaft and hole will give the permanent type of fit and can be used as a solid component.
    Elastic strains developed on the mating surfaces during the process of assembly prevent relative movement of the mating parts.
                                                       Interference fit 

  Transition fit: This type of fit lies mid way between clearance fit and interference fit. In this type size limits on the mating parts so selected may give clearance fit or interference fit depending on the actual sizes of the parts.

  2. If the maximum hole size is greater than smaller size of shaft or minimum hole size is lesser than maximum size of shaft, such type is called transition fit. In this type some of the assemblies can be done without application of force and for some assemblies force will be required.
