Question Details

The following data applies to the basic shaft system

Tolerance for hole = 0.002 mm,

Tolerance for shaft = 0.001 mm,

Allowance = 0.003 mm,

Basic size = 50 mm,

The maximum hole size is mm(round off to 3 decimal places)

Correct Answer :

Correct answer is : 50.005

Solution :

The correct answer is 50.005.

Based on the provided diagram, for a basic shaft system, the upper limit of the shaft lies on the zero line (basic size line).
Therefore, we have:
Maximum shaft size = Basic Size = 50.000 mm

The allowance represents the minimum clearance between the hole and the shaft, which is the difference between the minimum hole size and the maximum shaft size:
Allowance=Minimum hole size-Maximum shaft size
Substituting the given allowance of 0.003 mm, we calculate the minimum hole size:
Minimum hole size=Maximum shaft size+Allowance
Minimum hole size=50.000 mm+0.003 mm=50.003 mm

The tolerance for the hole is 0.002 mm, which is the difference between the maximum and minimum hole sizes:
Maximum hole size=Minimum hole size+Tolerance for hole
Maximum hole size=50.003 mm+0.002 mm=50.005 mm

Thus, the maximum hole size is 50.005 mm.
