What is Cylindricity tolerance?

What is Cylindricity tolerance?

Cylindricity is a 3-Dimensional tolerance that controls the overall form of a cylindrical feature to ensure that it is round enough and straight enough along its axis. Cylindricity is independent of any datum feature the tolerance needs to be less than the diameter dimensional tolerance of the part.

Is Cylindricity a form tolerance?

The same explanation also applies to circularity. Cylindricity is a form constraint that measures how well the shape of a part matches a perfectly cylindrical form. This constraint’s tolerance zone is a three-dimensional shape described by two cylindrical shells with perfect form.

How do you dimension Cylindricity?

Gauging / Measurement: Cylindricity is measured by constraining a part on its axis, and rotating it around while a height gauge records the variation of the surface in several locations along the length. The height gauge must have total variation less than the tolerance amount.

How is position tolerance measured?

Total acceptable Position Tolerance = Given TOL + Bonus TOL = 0.25+0.10 = 0.35. Actual Position 0.30 is less than acceptance total tolerance 0.35 therefore part is now accepted.

What controls the Cylindricity?

The cylindricity control is a GD tolerance from the form control group and guarantees a part’s cylindric shape by determining the two key aspects of roundness and axis straightness. Many cylindrical parts that fit into a tight assembly must be “cylindrical enough” for a good fit.

How many GD symbols are there?

Currently, we have 16 symbols for geometric tolerances, which are categorized according to the tolerance they specify.

What is difference between Cylindricity and concentricity?

What’s the difference between cylindricity and concentricity? While cylindricity is an indicator of roundness and straightness along the full axis of a 3D part, concentricity compares an OD and ID or compares roundness at two different points.

How do I manually test my Cylindricity?

When measuring cylindricity, you are checking for distortion in the cylinder, to verify the accuracy of its cylindrical form.
