Typical application
Suitable for securely located hubs and bushes where force or temperature-assisted assembly is available.

Results
Fit selection
Compare common fits
Compare limit values at the current nominal size. Optionally narrow the results to a desired range in µm.
H7/n6 in practice
Understanding the limits
The shaft zone is above the zero line; diameter and actual limits determine whether slight clearance or interference remains.
Alternatives
H7/k6 is easier to remove. H7/p6 gives a stronger press fit whose load capacity should be verified separately.
From function to fit
What this calculator does
From nominal size plus hole and shaft tolerance classes, the calculator returns limit sizes and minimum/maximum clearance or interference.
ISO 286 defines hole and shaft sizes. Performance in the actual assembly also depends on temperature, form, surface texture, and assembly conditions.
Typical tasks
- Bearing and bushing seats
- Guides with controlled clearance
- Locating fits and removable hubs
Design notes and follow-up standards
Check before release
Operating temperature
Differential thermal expansion can turn clearance into interference, or the reverse.
Geometry and surface
Roundness, cylindricity, and roughness are not controlled by a size fit.
Functional requirement
Derive minimum clearance or interference from load, lubrication, and assembly needs.
Useful follow-up standards
ISO 1101
Geometrical tolerances for form, orientation, location, and run-out.
ISO 14405-1
Unambiguous specification of linear sizes on drawings.
ISO 21920
Surface texture specification for sliding, sealing, or joining functions.
