CLASSES OF FITS
There are three principal classes of fit, between shafts and
holes, and they are the:
Interference Fit
Transition Fit
Clearance Fit

EXAMPLE 2
The limits shown on a drawing for a mating hole and shaft are:
The limits shown on drawing for a mating hole and shaft are:
Find what type of fit will exist between the hole and shaft.
The smallest hole is 10.000 + 0.000 = 10.000 mm.
The largest shaft is 10.000 - 0.006 =
9.994 mm.
Hence the shaft is always smaller than the hole and a clearance
fit will be obtained.
Find the type of fit that exists between the hole and shaft.
The largest hole is 40.000 + 0.025 = 40.025 mm
The smallest shaft is 40.000 + 0.043 = 40.043 mm
The shaft is always larger than the hole and hence we have an
interference fit.
EXAMPLE 3
The limits shown on a drawing for a mating hole and shaft are:
Find the type of fit that exists between the hole and shaft.
The largest shaft is 30.000 + 0.018 = 30.018 mm
The smallest hole is 30.000 + 0.000 = 30.000 mm
This combination gives an interference fit.
The smallest shaft is 30.000 + 0.002 = 30.002 mm
The largest hole is 30.000 + 0.025 = 30.025 mm
This combination gives a clearance fit.
Hence, since we can have either interference or clearance, we
have a transition fit.
Newall system
In the early Newall hole-based system of limits, the holes are
classified as Class A and Class B fits. Class A holes are
manufactured to a closer tolerance than are Class B holes.
Table 2 shows how the shafts are classified, using the letters F,
P, D, X, Y, and Z.
Table 2
Newall System of Fits
Basic size Basic Size is the theoretical exact size from which
limits of size are determined by the application of allowances
and tolerances.
Bow of a shaft
Twist of a shaft.
Category A/B1
When dealing with shafts and tubes, it is vital that not only are
the ends square with each other, but that the centreline of the
complete shaft or tube is straight.
Twist is the result of applied torsion on circular or squaresectioned shafts. If the twist disappears, as a result of removing
the force, then the shaft will have been loaded below its elastic
limit. If the shaft remains twisted, after removal of the load, then
it has been loaded above its elastic limit.
If the centre line of the shaft is not straight, then the item is
bowed. When the shaft or tube is rotating, especially at a high
speed in a bowed state, there is the risk of vibration, which can
lead to mechanical failures, loosening of fasteners and (most
critical of all) fatigue.
All cylindrical items, both tubular and solid, can be given a limit
to the amount of bow permitted. For example a drive shaft,
which rotates about 1500 rpm, may have a limit of 0.25 mm
(0.01 in) bow over the length of the shaft.
This ensures that, within the limits of production, the drive shafts
are effectively straight, giving the least possible vibration.
Category A/B1
The designer of the aircraft or equipment will set all limits, with
regards to the distortion of parts and set them down in the
relevant manuals. The methods used to measure the distortion
will either be standard procedures, such as using a DTI and
surface table etc., or will have a special procedure included in
the manuals.
Dimension New
Clearance New
Dimension New relates to the size of the part when new, and
will show the relevant tolerances.
Permissible Worn Dimension refers to the size to which a part
may wear before it must be rejected as unserviceable. Parts,
which are not worn beyond this size, can be used again,
providing a suitable mating part is chosen to keep the clearance
within the permissible figure. This will frequently involve
choosing a new part to mate with the worn part.
Clearance New is the desired clearance in limit form.
Interference fits are quoted as negative clearances.
Permissible Worn Clearance refers to the maximum allowable
clearance when reassembling the component.
