MMC & LMC MMC = Maximum Material Condition Largest shaft diameter Smallest hole diameter Worst case in most assembly situations LMC = Least Material Condition Smallest shaft diameter Largest hole diameter Certain uncommon situations only
FITS CLEARANCE FIT HOLE SHAFT 1.505 Ø 1.500 1.494 Ø 1.490 CLEARANCE AT MMC = 1.500 – 1.494 = .006 CLEARANCE AT LMC = 1.505 – 1.490 = .015

INTERFERENCE AT MMC = 3.321 – 3.319 = .002 FITS HOLE SHAFT Ø 3.321 3.315 3.328 3.319 Ø TRANSITION FIT INTERFERENCE AT MMC = 3.321 – 3.319 = .002 CLEARANCE AT LMC = 3.328 – 3.315 = .013
MMC= LMC= GENERAL FIT CONCEPT MAXIMUM INTERFERENCE or MINIMUM CLEARANCE LMC= MAXIMUM CLEARANCE or MINIMUM INTERFERENCE
FITS IN THE MHB Five Major Fit Classes RC – running or sliding clearance fits LC – locational clearance fits LT – locational transition fits LN – locational interference fits FN – force or shrink interference fits Each fit class contains several subclasses All values in fit tables must be multiplied by 1000 before using them in calculations
EXAMPLE Calculate Shaft and Hole diameters and clearances or interferences for a Ø1.50” basic mating shaft and hole in the following fit conditions: RC-7 FN-4 LT-3
SHAFT HOLE CLEARANCE 1.50 - .0030 = 1.4970 1.50 - .0046 = 1.4954 1.50 + .0025 = 1.5025 1.50 + 0 = 1.5000 .003O @ MMC .0071 @ LMC
SHAFT HOLE INTERFERENCE 1.50 + .0031 = 1.5031 1.50 + .0025 = 1.5025 1.50 + .001 = 1.501 1.50 + 0 = 1.500 .0031 @ MMC .0015 @ LMC
SHAFT HOLE CLR or INT 1.50 + .0007 = 1.5007 1.50 + .0001 = 1.5001 1.50 + .001 = 1.501 1.50 + 0 = 1.500 .0007 INT @ MMC .0009 CLR @ LMC
