Processing limits and accuracy standards for sheet metal parts

Sheet metal parts are used in our everyday life and in industry in a wide range of applications. In order for these manufactured sheet metal parts to be used interoperably, they must comply with certain accuracy standards and machining limits. These refer to specific parameters and tolerances with respect to width, length, thickness and geometric tolerances. The specifications must be taken into account when manufacturing sheet metal parts. The following examines various standards and limits in detail.

Linear shafts: Precision standards for MISUMI linear shafts

Linear shafts are a subset of linear guides and provide stability and precision in linear motion systems. Varying precision requirements are placed on linear shafts to ensure that movements are transferred at low-friction, accurately, and reliably. These requirements specify roundness, straightness, perpendicularity as well as the concentricity of the linear shaft. MISUMI offers linear shafts in standard and precision versions. In this article, you will learn about the different features, when to use which variant, and what precision requirements are all about.

Tolerance classes iaw. ISO 22081 and DIN ISO 2768: Optimized use of general tolerances

Tolerances are an essential aspect for manufacturing mechanically moving parts, as they ensure the correct interaction of components. General tolerances and their tolerance classes are used to simplify drawings. The standard DIN ISO 2768 specifies tolerances. Many design engineers use general tolerances as a simplified variation of tolerances to facilitate the design process.
