These tolerances apply to features like external lengths, step heights, and diameters.
This part controls the "form" of the part. For example, "K" ensures a surface stays reasonably flat or straight without needing a specific GD&T callout for every face. The General CNC Machining Tolerance: ISO 2768-mk
Straightness applies to lines or axes, while flatness applies to surfaces. The tolerance is determined by the length of the longest side or diameter of the surface: Nominal Length Range (mm) Straightness and Flatness Tolerance (mm) over 10 to 30 over 30 to 100 over 100 to 300 over 300 to 1000 over 1000 to 3000 Perpendicularity
Using a general tolerance standard provides several distinct advantages for engineering and manufacturing teams: general tolerance iso 2768-mk
The designation combines two different parts of the standard:
represents the gold standard for general tolerances in modern mechanical engineering. It harmoniously blends the 'medium' linear tolerances with 'medium' geometric controls to produce parts that are both functional and economical.
The lowercase letter "m" represents the "Medium" tolerance class. ISO 2768-1 outlines four tolerance classes for linear dimensions: f (Fine), m (Medium), c (Coarse), and v (Very Coarse).
) directly next to that specific dimension on the drawing. Specific callouts always override general standards. Best Practices for Designers and Machinists End of examination
O-ring grooves and sealing surfaces require incredibly tight control over depth and surface finish to prevent leaks.
If you are currently setting up a design pipeline, let me know:
Are there any specific like bearings or threads involved? Share public link
If your assembly has a critical mating part—such as a bearing press-fit or a sealed O-ring groove—the general tolerances of ISO 2768-mk will likely be too loose. In these scenarios, you must (e.g., or a fit callout like For example, "K" ensures a surface stays reasonably
It is divided into two parts:
For a detailed look at the specific tables for each class, you can refer to the official ISO 2768-1:1989 documentation technical summaries from manufacturers and the newer standard, which is intended to eventually replace it?
These tolerances apply to the heights of chamfers and the radii of rounded external corners.
