🔍 Key Concepts

• Locational interference fit versus clearance fit – what must be true about shaft diameter vs. hole diameter? • How thermal expansion or machining (drilling/turning) changes the relationship between those diameters. • Look closely at the actual sizes shown for piece B: 0.255 in and 0.250 in.

💭 Think About

• For piece B as drawn, is the shaft currently larger or smaller than the hole? What type of fit does that create? • Which option would change the situation so that, after assembly, the shaft cannot slide freely in the hole but must be pressed or shrunk into place? • Compare each choice: does it make the hole bigger or smaller, or the shaft bigger or smaller – and how does that affect whether you get clearance or interference?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know which dimension in the sketch is the shaft diameter and which is the hole diameter. • Verify whether an interference fit requires the shaft diameter to be greater than the hole diameter, or the other way around. • For the heating option, think about what happens to metal dimensions when temperature changes and what the diameter would be at assembly versus at normal temperature.

Do nothing, this is already a locational interference fit

drill the hole 0.010 inches larger to .260 inches

turn the shaft down .004 to .005 inches

heat the shaft until the nominal diameter is .250 inches
