Calculadora de Ajuste H7/k6
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 H7 and shaft k6. 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.
H7/k6 fit: limits by diameter (ISO 286)
Light transition. Precise centring with a possible light tap or small interference.
Example at Ø25 mm: hole H7 from 0 to +21 µm and shaft k6 from +2 to +15 µm, which gives anything from 15 µm of interference to 19 µm of clearance.
How it is made: the H7 hole (IT7) by reaming, fine boring or internal grinding; the k6 shaft (IT6) by grinding or fine turning on a machine in good condition. Check both with a plug gauge and a micrometer, not with a caliper.
How it is assembled: by hand or with light taps of a soft-faced mallet; depending on the actual sizes it may be loose or slightly tight.

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.
