Preferred metric tolerances and fits for hole and shaft basis systems which are given in ISO 286-1 (2010) and ANSI
B4.2-1978 standards are summarized in the following tables. The usage of these tolerances is advised for
Fastener Dimensions
economic reasons.

Free running fit not for use where accuracy is essential, but good for
large temperature variations, high running speeds, or heavy journal
pressures.
Close running fit for running on accurate machines and for accurate
location at moderate speeds and journal pressures.

N7/h6
Locational transition fit for more accurate location where greater

interference is permissible.

P7/h6
Locational interference fit for parts requiring rigidity and allignment

with prime accuracy of location but without special bore pressure
requirements.

Medium drive fit for ordinary steel parts or shrink fits on light sections,
the tightest fit usable with cast iron.

Limits, fits and tolerance calculator (metric unit) is designed to calculate the
limits, fits and tolerances according to ISO 286(2010) and ANSI B4.2 (1978)
standards.
