Precision tolerance specifications
Our calculator applies ISO tolerance standards to determine precise dimensional limits based on nominal dimensions, tolerance classes, and application requirements. Each calculation ensures optimal fit and function.
Support for ISO tolerance grades from IT6 (precision) to IT10 (rough) with appropriate applications for different manufacturing requirements and quality standards.
Calculate tolerances for various key features including dimensions, cuts, and holes with specific requirements for each feature type and application.
Learn how to use the tolerance calculator for professional manufacturing results
Input the target dimension for your feature. This is the ideal measurement that serves as the baseline for tolerance calculations.
Choose the appropriate tolerance grade based on your precision requirements. Lower numbers (IT6) provide tighter tolerances for critical applications.
Select bilateral (±) for symmetric tolerances or unilateral (+/-) for one-sided tolerances based on your manufacturing and functional requirements.
Identify the type of feature being manufactured. Different features may have specific tolerance requirements based on their function.
Choose the intended use case to apply appropriate tolerance adjustments for security level, manufacturing capability, and cost considerations.
Common questions about tolerance calculations and ISO standards
ISO tolerance classes define the allowable deviation from nominal dimensions. Common classes include IT6 (precision), IT7 (high precision), IT8 (standard), and IT9 (general) with tighter tolerances for lower numbers.
Proper tolerances ensure keys fit correctly in lock cylinders while maintaining security. Too loose tolerances reduce security, while too tight tolerances can cause binding or poor operation.
Bilateral tolerance allows deviation in both directions (+/-), while unilateral tolerance allows deviation in only one direction (+ only or - only) from the nominal dimension.
Choose based on application requirements: IT6-IT7 for high-security keys, IT8 for standard applications, and IT9 for general use. Consider manufacturing capabilities and cost implications.
