PARALLELiSM QUESTION

Recommended Posts

New to me parallelism callout on a print.

// 0.040/100 crossing to A
// 0.040/100 inclination to A

The callout is placed on pinion id bores, Datum A is an outside diameter on an output shaft.

Any help on how to check this in Calypso would be appreciated.

Thanks

????.
I'm not sure about this one but, I'll offer my 2 cents worth (with inflation it's probably 3 cents 🙄 )..
Essentially it's parallelism of 0.040 allowed per every 100mm of length and perpendicularity but you would have to have a secondary datum to use in the parallelism characteristic if choosing "cartesian" in the shape of zone drop-down menu.

I've measured older engine connecting rods that have prints like this (without the distance ratio) where they use parallelism to control the bend and twist of the rod instead of perpendicularity, profile or true postion.

You would probably have to use constructions to gauge the amount of error for every 100mm because the parallelism characteristics doesn't have an option like the flatness REF characteristic to evaluate per area/distance.

Not sure it will help but, see illustration below.
In this example the crank bearing face is used as the secondary datum by choosing parallel-to or perpendicular-to to gauge bend vs twist.

Thank you, this is pretty similar to what I figured out.
I have never used parallelism with cartesian tolerance zone before, so had to play around it a little.

Could you share your solution?

I have the same callout on a part and I'm struggling to figure out how to get Calypso do to it.

Just use it as Owen shared - using "Perpendicular" and "Parallel to" you are switching usage - here it is bend and twist.
And don't forget to use P for 100mm of length.
