Feiltoleranser

Feiltoleranser refers to the permissible deviations from nominal values or from exact geometries in parts and assemblies. They define the range within which a measurement or a manufactured feature is still considered acceptable, ensuring that components will fit and function together in a larger system. Toleranser are essential for balancing manufacturability, cost, and quality.

TTypes of toleranser include linear toleranser for dimensions such as length, width and diameter; angular toleranser for angles; and geometriske toleranser that describe form, orientation, location and runout. Linear toleranser can be unilateral (only one side allowed) or bilateral (equal deviation on both sides). Geometriske toleranser, often specified with GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), cover features like straightness, flatness, circularity, position, and true running.

How toleranser are determined and used: they are driven by the functional krav of the part, the assembly, and the production process capability. Tight toleranser improve precision but raise manufacturing cost and inspection difficulty, while looser toleranser reduce cost but may compromise fit and function. Typical examples include fit classes for shafts and holes, where clearance, transition, or interference fits are chosen based on application.

Specification and verification: toleranser can be specified according to standard systems such as ISO 1101 for geometric tolerancing or general tolerancing standards like ISO 2768 in regions where GD&T is not used. Verification is performed through metrology methods (calipers, micrometers, gauges, coordinate measuring machines) and by assessing measurement uncertainty and tolerance stack-ups.

Impact: feiltoleranser influence quality, interchangeability, and cost. Proper tolerance design supports reliable manufacturing, proper assembly, and long-term performance of mechanical products.
