Tolerances & Fits

ISO Fits (Hole/Shaft) Reference

Common hole-basis fit designations used in mechanical design, and the type of assembly each is typically chosen for. Exact tolerance limits in micrometres depend on the nominal size range and are defined in ISO 286-2 — consult the full standard for precise values on a specific job.

Common ISO fit designations

H7/g6Clearance — sliding fitPrecision sliding parts, spindles in bushings
H7/h6Clearance — locationalEasily assembled/disassembled locating parts
H7/k6TransitionLocation fits with light press, keyed parts
H7/n6Transition — tightSemi-permanent assemblies
H7/p6Interference — light pressPress-fit bushings and pins
H7/s6Interference — medium pressPermanent assemblies, shrink-fit-like joints
