Determining the Tolerances in Fitting for Joints with Interference

详细

A formula for the theoretical tolerance in fitting is derived by analysis of the components in the model of parametric failure for joints with interference. The formula takes account of the life of the joint and the specified probability of fault-free operation. It is found that selection of the fit without a margin of precision does not ensure the necessary reliability of the joint, while correct selection of the margin of precision extends the fault-free operation of the joint.
