Tolerance stack-up analysis determines cumulative effect of individual component tolerances on final assembly. Critical for assembly success.

Formula

Statistical method: total = √(sum of squares) — more realistic

Guida passo passo

  1. 1Linear stack: total tolerance = sum of individual tolerances (worst case)
  2. 2Statistical method: total = √(sum of squares) — more realistic
  3. 3Design tolerances to achieve assembly fit requirements

Esempi risolti

Ingresso
Four parts each ±0.5mm, total stack tolerance requirement ±1.5mm
Risultato
Worst case stack = 2.0mm (exceeds), statistical = 1.0mm (passes)
Statistical justified

Errori comuni da evitare

  • Adding worst-case tolerances without justification
  • Ignoring correlation between tolerances

Domande frequenti

When to use worst case vs. statistical?

Worst case for critical assemblies; statistical for high-volume production where cost matters.

How do you reduce stack tolerance?

Use fewer parts, use larger dimensions, or reduce individual component tolerances.
