connection.

This data then can be used to optimize the design of the hub/shaft, or can be used to find the force to engage and disengage these parts, or can be used to find the maximum torque this connection can transmit without slippage. Above example shows a transition fit of H6/m6 between shaft and hub. To find tolerances for different fits refer Tolerance Table for Regularly Used Fits For calculating minimum force to engage or disengage these parts we can use the following formula
F = . pmax . A

Where is the friction between hub and shaft, A is the area of contact between shaft and hub. To calculate maximum torque which can be transmitted without slip can be found using following formula
T = F . d/2
