Lecture (6)
Fits & Design of Gauges
Transition Fit
This fit may result in either an interference or a clearance, depending upon the actual values of the
tolerance of individual parts. The shaft may be either smaller or larger than the hole and still be
within prescribed tolerances. It is results transition fit.

Exercises

For the following Fits:


H7/e6 -- H8/j6 -- H6/h5 -- H9/r7 -- E8/d6
Determine:
a. The tolerances of hole and shaft.
b. The maximum and minimum clearance or interference.
c. The type of fit. (Represent the tolerance zones)
Dimensional Inspection of Parts Using Go and Not Go Gages

Go and No Go Gages are typically simple devices like Go and No Go plug


gages, Go and No Go ring gages or Go and No Go Snap Gages that contain no
moving parts and are easy to use. As such, their use is very common. Go and
No Go gages are also easily portable, do not suffer breakdowns in service,
and typically do not require power.

SNAP GAUGES
Because Go and Not Go gages are available in an extensive range of sizes and tolerances and offer
increased assurance of a fit between mating parts, it is easy to see why these types of gages are the
most widely used in inspection.

Setting Gages and Fixed Limit Gages


The gaging practice known as "Go and Not Go Gaging," is often used with ring, plug, and snap gages. They
are utilized as a full form or three dimensional simulation of the mating part.
Go/Not Go Gauges Inspection Practice
In this gaging practice, a Go Gage is used, serving as the equivalent to one of the part's specified features.
If the Go Gage fits into the part, then it stands to reason that the mating part does not have excessive
material and will also fit, ensuring proper assembly. Likewise, if the Not Go Gage does not fit into the part,
it shows that the feature under inspection is not lacking material or is not too large and consequently too
loose.
The Go/ Not Go Gauge practice is a quick, efficient, and cost-effective verification that part dimensions
meet drawing requirements and will assemble and function properly.
Using Plain Plug Go/No Go Gages
Plain plug gages are available in many different types and are utilized for a variety of inspections.
Reversible wire plug gages are held in a collet-type handle that forms either a single-end or double-end
Go, Not Go Gauge Assembly. Reversible wire plug gages are available in a range from .004"-1.000", and in
a tolerance range from class Z-XXX. Go and Not Go Gauges are utilized for checking hole sizes. Wire type
reversible plug gages also referred to as pin gages have become very popular, due to their low cost and
availability in thousands of sizes.
To inspect hole size of a part, the Go gage is inserted into the hole. If the gage can be entered into the
hole, then the hole is considered to be above its low limit. Following that, the Not Go gauge is used: if it
enters the hole, more than the hole is too big.
Using a series of plugs in various diameter steps will result in a high repeatability rate. Gaging should be
performed under optimal conditions so as to have little effect upon the inspection, such as cleanliness of
the part and proper temperature control. Work tolerance might also be a factor to consider, in which a
gage wear allowance may be used. In this case, a wear allowance is added to the Go Gage diameter. A
tolerance should be specified so that the total gage tolerance does not exceed 10% of the part tolerance.
For very fine tolerances, a carbide plus gage is often the most effective and practical gage to be utilized.
Additionally, many gage users also elect to use Go and Not Go plugs in addition to air gaging or electronic
inspections, in order to ensure that the parts will mate.

Using Plain Ring Go/No Go Gauges


Go and Not Go ring gages are commonly used limit measurements on cylindrical outside diameters. Go and No Go ring
gages are typically made from hardened tool steel. They can also be made with a chrome coat or with a carbide insert for
greater wear resistance. Go and Not Go ring gages are made to exacting gage maker tolerances. The Go and Not Go
gaging principles that are used for plug gages are applied to ring gages as well. a
Cylindrical plain plug gages may be used for gaing hole sizes to determine if the hole is within the upper and lower limits of
the product tolerance. The hole size can be determined by using go and no go plug gauges. The go gage is used to verify the
low limit. The no go gage is used to verify the upper limit. The correct use of go and no go gages eliminates the requirement
of complex and expensive measuring instruments. Inspection using fixed limit go/no go cylindrical plug gauges requires only
basic training. The inspector only has to verify whether the gage is entering or not entering the inside diameter of their
part.

Cylindrical plug gages may also be used to set a measuring instrument to a known value.
Thread Check Inc. offers a complete range of economy pin gage sets in Class ZZ, Z, and X. Class X English and metric gage
sets feature a .000040” tolerance limit and .000020” roundness limit. These pin gages are perfect for critical inspection
needs or when it is necessary to maximize the go/not go tolerance limits. They're also a great way to calibrate measuring
equipment, micrometers and calipers.
A snap gage is a form of Go/not go gauge. It is a limit gage with permanently or temporarily fixed
measurement aperture(s) (gaps) which is used to quickly verify whether an outside dimension of a part
matches a preset dimension or falls within predefined tolerances. The surfaces which define the edges of the
aperture are the anvils, which may be made of separate pieces of hard material such as tungsten carbide for
wear resistance. Two apertures are frequently used to provide Go/Not Go testing and are often arranged
such that a part being measured can pass through the two apertures in sequence; a part that is within
tolerance will pass through the first maximum size limit aperture but will not be able to pass through the
minimum size limit aperture. A snap gauge usually has a "C" shaped frame with the aperture(s) at the
opening of the "C". Snap gages may be machined and ground out of a single block of metal or adjustable
snap gages, which have movable anvils that may be adjusted over a limited range of sizes, may be used.
