Question

For clearance fit the upper limit of the shaft should be

• A. greater than the upper limit of the hole
• B. lesser than the upper limit of the hole
• C. greater than the lower limit of the hole
• D. lesser than the lower limit of the hole

Hint:

Clearance fits are designed to provide sufficient space between mating parts ensuring that the parts can move freely without interference

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In clearance fit the shaft is always smaller than the hole Therefore the upper limit of the shaft must be greater than the lower limit of the hole to ensure a clearance gap between the parts
