Maximum Clearance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Clearance = Maximum Limit Size of hole-Minimum Limit Size of Shaft
C_max = H_max-S_min
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Clearance - (Measured in Meter) - Maximum clearance is the maximum space available between a hole and a shaft or between two assembled parts.
Maximum Limit Size of hole - (Measured in Meter) - Maximum limit size of hole is defined as the maximum diameter of hole possible for given fit.
Minimum Limit Size of Shaft - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum limit size of shaft is the minimum diameter of shaft possible in clearance fit.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Limit Size of hole: 8 Millimeter --> 0.008 Meter (Check conversion here)
Minimum Limit Size of Shaft: 2 Millimeter --> 0.002 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_max = H_max-S_min --> 0.008-0.002

Evaluating ... ...

C_max = 0.006

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.006 Meter -->6 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

6 Millimeter <-- Maximum Clearance

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Maximum limit size of shaft from minimum clearance

Go Maximum Limit Size of Shaft = Minimum Limit Size of Hole-Minimum Clearance

Minimum limit size of shaft from maximum clearance

Go Minimum Limit Size of Shaft = Maximum Limit Size of hole-Maximum Clearance

Minimum limit size of hole from minimum clearance

Go Minimum Limit Size of Hole = Minimum Clearance+Maximum Limit Size of Shaft

Maximum limit size of hole from maximum clearance

Go Maximum Limit Size of hole = Maximum Clearance+Minimum Limit Size of Shaft

Minimum clearance

Go Minimum Clearance = Minimum Limit Size of Hole-Maximum Limit Size of Shaft

Maximum Clearance

Go Maximum Clearance = Maximum Limit Size of hole-Minimum Limit Size of Shaft

Tolerance Unit

Go Tolerance Unit = 0.45*(Cylinder Dimension)^(1/3)+0.001*Cylinder Dimension

Maximum Clearance Formula

Maximum Clearance = Maximum Limit Size of hole-Minimum Limit Size of Shaft
C_max = H_max-S_min

What is Clearance fit ?

The maximum size of the shaft is smaller than the minimum hole and as a result,
there will always be clearance, varying depending upon the actual sizes of the shaft and hole. Such a fit is termed as clearance fit.

How to Calculate Maximum Clearance?

Maximum Clearance calculator uses Maximum Clearance = Maximum Limit Size of hole-Minimum Limit Size of Shaft to calculate the Maximum Clearance, Maximum Clearance is defined as the maximum width of gap between two given surfaces. The maximum size of the shaft is smaller than the minimum hole size. Maximum Clearance is denoted by C_max symbol.

How to calculate Maximum Clearance using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Maximum Clearance, enter Maximum Limit Size of hole (H_max) & Minimum Limit Size of Shaft (S_min) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Maximum Clearance calculation can be explained with given input values -> 6000 = 0.008-0.002.

FAQ

What is Maximum Clearance?

Maximum Clearance is defined as the maximum width of gap between two given surfaces. The maximum size of the shaft is smaller than the minimum hole size and is represented as C_max = H_max-S_min or Maximum Clearance = Maximum Limit Size of hole-Minimum Limit Size of Shaft. Maximum limit size of hole is defined as the maximum diameter of hole possible for given fit & Minimum limit size of shaft is the minimum diameter of shaft possible in clearance fit.

How to calculate Maximum Clearance?

Maximum Clearance is defined as the maximum width of gap between two given surfaces. The maximum size of the shaft is smaller than the minimum hole size is calculated using Maximum Clearance = Maximum Limit Size of hole-Minimum Limit Size of Shaft. To calculate Maximum Clearance, you need Maximum Limit Size of hole (H_max) & Minimum Limit Size of Shaft (S_min). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Maximum Limit Size of hole & Minimum Limit Size of Shaft and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
