Do you want to adjust components with millimetre precision? of fits is an online tool that helps you to determine fits and tolerances according to ISO 286 These calculators are based on the ISO 286-1 and ISO 286-2 standards and allow users to obtain precise results by entering nominal diameters and tolerance designations. Discover how nominal dimensions and tolerance classes are converted into a perfect fit result and how you can work more efficiently with such a tool. Also use the tolerance calculator to determine transition fits based on basic tolerances and limit dimensions. The ISO Online of fits promises precise results and simplifies your design work.

Here you can use our tolerance calculator for free to calculate fits and tolerances for shafts and bores. ISO 286-1 and ISO 286-2 were used as the basis for the basic tolerances and limit dimensions of the fit calculator.
The DIN EN ISO 286 is an international standard that defines the ISO tolerance system for fits and tolerances. It applies to sizes from 0 mm to 3150 mm and is based on the basic tolerances and tolerances of the ISO tolerance system. An online tolerance calculator can help to apply these standards and calculate precise fits and tolerances.
Within this standard there are different types of fits and tolerances, namely Gamefits, crossingfun and Excessfits. Each type of fit has specific requirements and applications that are set out in DIN 7157. Selecting the correct fit type is critical to the successful design and assembly of components. The fit calculator helps to do this.
The tolerances in DIN EN ISO 286 are through 20 degrees of tolerance which specify numerical values for the tolerance range. This enables designers to calculate fits (upper and lower dimensions) and tolerances with high precision and to ensure that their designs comply with international standards such as ISO 286-2.
A fit is a ratio of two tolerance-affected workpieces (the tolerances) that have an identical nominal dimension but different tolerance fields in size and position. For example, permissible actual dimensions, i.e. the upper and lower dimensions, of shafts and holes to be connected to one another are defined using fits. Fits and tolerances are defined in DIN ISO 286 1:2010 and DIN ISO 286 2:2010. The following fits exist:
The fit "H7" refers to a tolerance range for holes in mechanical engineering. The "H" stands for a basic hole with a lower dimensional tolerance of zero. The number "7" indicates the specific tolerance field. An H7 fit provides a smooth fit for shafts that allows the shaft to slide into the bore without much resistance.
There are three main tolerances when it comes to fits and technical drawings:
Depending on the context and level of detail, additional tolerance types and subcategories may exist.
Special calculators based on ISO 286-1 and ISO 286-2 are often used for this purpose and provide precise results by entering nominal diameters and tolerance designations. Here are basic steps to calculate the tolerance:
There are different tolerance classes and standards that can vary from industry to industry. Some standards, such as ISO or DIN, provide tolerance tables for different tolerance classes that can be selected depending on accuracy requirements.
