General Casting Tolerances

Castings are manufactured to the Form of Supply detailed in our quotation and are generally within the dimensional tolerances given below. Where dimensional requirements are closer than can be obtained by casting, final machining may be necessary.

Depending upon configuration, castings may distort during cooling from casting to room temperature. In such cases, a setting operation may be necessary.

Angular tolerance   +/- 0.5 degrees

Linear tolerance   +/- 0.125mm per 25mm

Concentricity

Typically

Outside dia:

19.0mm

25.0mm

37.5mm

50.0mm

 

Inside dia:

6.4mm

12.5mm

19.0mm

20.0mm

TIRE/Eccentricity

 

0.20mm

0.25mm

0.30mm

0.38mm

Ovality

Diameter

Up to 12.50mm

12.50mm-25.00mm

25.0mm-37.50mm

Ovality

0.25mm

0.30mm

0.38mm

Flatness

         

0.125mm-0.25mm per 25mm dependant on configuration.

These figures are produced from qualitative inspection observations over many years of manufacture, but should only be used as a guide. It is important to discuss your specific requirements if in doubt.

           

Dimensional Tolerances

These depend on size, shape and section but generally fall into the tolerance bands listed below.
