    Positional Tolerancing (GD&T)

    Uploaded by

    Kishor kumar Bhatia
    This document discusses positional tolerancing, which specifies the permissible deviations from true positions of features. Positional tolerances can be specified on a maximum material condition (MMC) or regardless of feature size (RFS) basis. When specified on an MMC basis, the tolerance zone is a circular area centered on the true position, whose diameter increases as the feature increases above MMC. Coordinate tolerancing uses a rectangular tolerance zone and is preferred for small production quantities or when functional gauges cannot be used economically.

    Some of the key takeaways are that positional tolerancing specifies permissible deviations from true position and can be specified on an MMC or RFS basis. Different types of positional tolerancing include coordinate tolerancing and positional tolerancing based on feature size.

    The different types of positional tolerancing discussed are positional tolerancing on an MMC basis, coordinate tolerancing, and positional tolerancing on an RFS basis.

    Positional tolerance is measured using indicators to measure the deviation of features from their true positions. The measuring principle explained involves taking indicator readings in upper and lower positions to calculate deviation.

    POSITIONAL TOLERANCING

    The location features are shown by coord. Dimensions/polar & angular dimensions. The dimensions are commonly known as true dimensions and represents only basic sizes. Dimensions enclosed in a rectangular frame indicate exact value. Permissible deviations from true position are indicated by positional tolerance. PT may be specified in MMC, RFS.

    If the hole is at MMC the position of its axis with in the circular zone of diameter equal to PT. If the hole is at LMC the diameter of the tolerance zone is increased by

    an amount of feature tolerance zone.

    PREFERRED METHODS
    POSITIONAL TOLERANCING ON AN MMC BASIS - Functional Gauges can be used - Larger variations in position are permitted when diameter departs from MMC. COORDINATE TOLERANCING METHOD - More economical when the production quantities are small preferred when functional gauges are not economical. - The tolerance zone is restricted to rectangular.

    Similar to coordinate tolerancing method except the zone is circular.
