Modern Engineering Drawing Practices 5.1.4 ANSI Y14.5M-1994 (R1999) tolerancing practices Per ANSI Y14.5M-1994 (R1999), tolerances may be expressed as follows: ■ As direct limits or as tolerance values applied directly to a dimension ■ As a geometric tolerance ■ In a note referring to specific dimensions ■ As specified in other documents referenced on the engineering drawing for specific features or processes ■ In a general tolerance block referring to all dimensions on the engineering drawing, unless specified otherwise Modern Engineering Drawing Practices 285 Figure 5.24 Dimensioning repetitive features.

Modern Engineering Drawing Practices Tolerances on dimensions that locate features of size may be applied directly to the locating dimensions or specified by the positional toler- ancing method. Unless otherwise specified, where a general tolerance note on a drawing includes angular tolerances, it applies to features shown at specified angles and at implied 90° angles, i.e., intersections of centerlines, corners of parts (internal and external), or other obvi- ous areas not specifically shown to have angles other than 90°. 5.1.5 Direct tolerancing methods Limits and directly applied tolerance values are specified as follows: ■ Limit dimensions. The high limit or maximum value is placed above the low limit or minimum value. As a single-line callout, the low limit precedes the high limit, with a dash separating the values. ■ Plus and minus tolerancing. The basic dimension is given first, followed by a plus-and-minus expression of tolerance. ■ Tolerance limits. All tolerance limits are absolute. ■ Dimensional limits before or after plating. For plated or coated parts, the engineering drawing or referenced document will state whether the dimensions are before or after plating; e.g., “Dimen- sional limits apply before plating” or “Dimensional limits apply after plating.” 5.1.6 Positional tolerancing Positional or location tolerancing defines a zone within which the center, axis, or center plane of a feature of size is permitted to vary from the true or exact position. Geometric tolerancing is the general term applied to the category of tolerances used to control form, profile, orientation, location, and runout. 5.1.7 Examples of ANSI Y14.5M-1994 (1999) dimensioning and tolerancing practices Figure 5.25 shows a typical engineering drawing using the ANSI form for dimensioning, tolerancing, and positioning. For a complete description and operational instructions for the use of ANSI standard dimensioning and tolerancing practices, see ANSI Y14.5M-1994 (1999), which may be obtained directly from ANSI, Inc.

Spindle accuracies are higher and CNC movement controls are very accurate on modern machine tools and equipment. ■ Use tables of preferred limits and fits only when applicable. ■ Select plating thickness limits (range) carefully so as to prevent dimensional interference between mating parts. ■ To control a large tolerance spread owing to many parts in a dynamic assembly, design an adjustment means in the mecha- nism at one or more critical positions. ■ Tooling fixtures and tooled parts help control tolerance ranges to a great extent on assemblies and complex mechanisms. ■ Machined finishes are surface textures and therefore can be con- sidered to have a tolerance [root-mean-square (rms)] value. Therefore, specify only a machined or tooled surface finish that is functional to the part. The experienced electromechanical designer or product design engineer must be proficient in dimensioning and tolerancing prac- tices to be most effective and successful at the design function.
