Straightness

 Share

Recommended Posts

Customer is making pins with a +/- 0.0025mm diameter tolerance. There is no straightness call-out but they need to make sure pin fits into hole. They are measuring pin with 5 circles and are checking the diameter of each circle. Next, they created a 3d line by recalling the 5 circles and they are checking the straightness. They understand this is only axial straightness.

Next, they have created a cylinder by recalling the features points from the 5 circles and getting the same result when they check straightness. In an attempt to meet Rule #1, they created a straightness tol for the Cylinder of 0.000 @MMC and set the evaluation to Outer Tangential. They’re asking if there is any way to develop a surface straightness from the data collected in the circles. Is this the best way to meet the requirements Rule #1?

Any comments or suggestions are gladly welcomed.

I have been playing with this
you get some interesting answers

I modeled it and the shift is 0.500 inch
You get a lot of different answers
Know I just need to wrap head around it

my opinion is that your customer should change design from straightness to cylindricity because cylindericity control both axial and surface straightness.One shoot two Bird.....

It is calling it to be measured with lines on the cylinder along the axis
That is Surface Straightness I am not finding rule #1

Isn't straightness irrelevant ? A cylinder as OTE is an envelope feature. Cylinder diameter accounts for bent, or non-straight variations, and size all along the feature, right ?

That's where I was going with this too... If it passes size for Envelope (OT or MCE), then it should fit. Maybe restrict it further with straightness.

You could throw in a cylindricity callout to regulate roundness and taper, but remember that cylindricity is a per side tolerance, so run at about 1/2 your size callout.
