Abstract The sizing of the component parts of a mechanical assembly must first assure its assembly and functionality and then the replacement (interchangeability) of used parts with new parts. For diametral fits (gaps and interferences) the ISO system of limits and fits is used, but for axial gaps the functional dimensioning method is applied to ensure maximum and minimum functional values. For each axial gap, the axial dimensions of the involved parts must be identified. Later, a minimal chain of dimensions is established, defined as the addition and subtraction of vectors parallel to the axis of More >
