Limit Gauge Design

Jun 13, 2009 0 Replies

Hi,



I was trying to design a limit gauge for a given drawing. Now, my drawing has dimensions (on both "shaft" and "hole" features) with dimensional tolerance and a geometric/form tolerance.



From what i have done in college, i can get the gauge dimensions for a simple case of dimensional tolerance only. Now, when geometric tolerance is added to that, which condition of the feature (shaft or hole) do i use for the design of the Go and the NoGo gauge? My plan was to use the worst limits( both +ve and -ve) that are allowed by the combined dimensional and geometric tolerances, and then apply gauge makers tolerances and wear allowances to those basic dimensions for the gauges.



Can you please help me on this? It would be great if someone could share their practical experiences also!



Thanks! Regards, Varun.
