Plus/minus tolerance ii. Limit dimension tolerance 2. Determine the tolerances specified in the figure below: 8.00 10.0 a) The tolerance for dimension10.0 is +- 0.1 b) The tolerance for dimension 8.00 is +- 0.1 3. Below tolerance note indicated that for dimension in _2 decimal places, the tolerance is +-0.1cm _and for _3 decimal places_ dimension, the tolerance is_+-0.001cm. 0.01 cm 0.001 cm 3 4. List two types of assembly tolerance, provide examples and explain (8 marks) There are several types of assembly tolerances used in engineering and manufacturing to specify the allowable variation or acceptable limits for the dimensions and fit of assembled components. Two common types of assembly tolerances are: 1. Type1: Clearance Fit: A clearance fit is a type of assembly tolerance where the dimensions of the mating parts allow for a gap or clearance between them. This type of fit is used when the parts are intended to move freely or have clearance between them to allow for proper assembly, disassembly, or functioning of the assembly. Examples of clearance fits include: Sliding fit: In this type of fit, one part can slide or move freely relative to another part without interference. For example, the fit between a piston and a cylinder in an engine. Free fit: In this type of fit, there is intentional clearance between the mating parts, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly. For example, the fit between a bolt and a nut. 2. Type2: Interference Fit: An interference fit is a type of assembly tolerance where the dimensions of the mating parts intentionally result in interference or overlap between them. This type of fit is used when the parts are intended to be pressed, shrink-fitted, or otherwise joined together with a tight fit. Examples of interference fits include: Press fit: In this type of fit, one part is pressed or pressed into another part with interference, creating a tight, secure fit. For example, the fit between a shaft and a bearing. Shrink fit: In this type of fit, one part is heated, causing it to expand, and then assembled onto another part, allowing it to cool and shrink, creating a tight fit. For example, the fit between a gear and a shaft. 4 5.

State four advantages of GDT in the manufacturing industry. GDT, or Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, is a system of symbols and rules used to specify the size, shape, and orientation of features on a product. Here are four advantages of using GDT in the manufacturing industry: Improved Design and Manufacturing Quality: GDT enables design engineers and manufacturing people to communicate design intent in a clear and accurate manner, resulting in higher design and manufacturing quality. The use of GDT decreases production mistakes and variances, resulting in higher product quality. Reduced Manufacturing Costs: GDT enables designers to describe tolerances and dimensional requirements more accurately, resulting in more efficient production processes. GDT can assist in minimizing production costs by minimizing the requirement for rework and inspections. Enhanced Product Functionality: GDT can be used to describe features and tolerances that improve product functioning. Designers may guarantee that pieces fit together properly and execute their intended purpose by establishing exact tolerances, resulting in a superior product. Improved Global Competitiveness: GDT is an internationally recognized specification language for product design needs. Manufacturers may efficiently express design intent across borders and guarantee that items are made to the same standards regardless of where they are produced by using GDT. This can help to boost global competitiveness and market share. 9
