Calculadora de Ajuste H11/c11
Visual, interactive ISO 286 tolerance calculator to view min/max limits, clearance, transition and interference on shaft and hole fits such as H7/g6, H7/h6, H7/k6 or H7/p6.

Quick reading
How to interpret it
Hole H11 and shaft c11. If the minimum clearance is negative there can be interference. If both clearances are positive there is always play.
There may be a small percentage of error against the official standard, since it isn't legal to reproduce the full ISO tables verbatim. Always validate with official ISO 286 and the controlled drawing before making critical parts.
H11/c11 fit: limits by diameter (ISO 286)
Muy libre. Coarse joints, agricultural machinery, dirt or large thermal variations.
Example at Ø25 mm: hole H11 from 0 to +131 µm and shaft c11 from -231 to -100 µm, which gives a clearance between 100 and 362 µm.
How it is made: the H11 hole (IT11) by drilling or milling; the c11 shaft (IT11) by rough turning or milling. Check both with a plug gauge and a micrometer, not with a caliper.
How it is assembled: by hand, with no force; the parts slide or turn freely.

Mathematical formula of the ISO tolerance system
First the IT tolerance is obtained and then it is positioned according to the letter.
1. Anchura IT
i = 0,45 · ∛D + 0,001 · D
`D` is the mean diameter of the nominal range. The multiplier is then applied: IT6 = 10i, IT7 = 16i, IT8 = 25i, IT9 = 40i.
2. Position of the letter
H7, K11, g6, p6...
The letter places the area with respect to the nominal. Uppercase for hole (`ES/EI`) and lowercase for axis (`es/ei`).
3. Resultado de montaje
holgura = agujero - eje
If the minimum clearance is positive, it is a clearance fit. If the maximum is negative, it is an interference fit. If it crosses zero, it is a transition fit.

Clearance
The IT formula is public and indicative; the fundamental deviations per letter are computed by the tool's engine. For critical production, always validate against official ISO 286 and the controlled drawing.
