Investment casting design guide

Linear Tolerances

Home/Technical Resources/Linear Tolerances

the Dana design guide lists normal and premium linear tolerances by component dimension. The first twelve rows use millimetres; the final row uses percentages.

Design notes

  • Dimension ranges reproduce the chart; the guide does not define how shared range boundaries are assigned.
  • The >250 row is expressed as a percentage, not as an absolute millimetre tolerance.
  • Confirm the required tolerances on the approved component drawing.
