Summary
Cylindricity controls the complete form of a cylindrical surface. It combines roundness and straightness along the entire length.
Definition
The tolerance zone is the region between two coaxial cylinders separated by the tolerance value. The entire surface must fall within this zone.
When to use it
Use cylindricity when you need a shaft or bore to be uniformly cylindrical along its full length without using datums.
Examples
Example: Cylindricity on a shaft
Cylindricity applied to a shaft surface to control full-length form.
Common mistakes
- Adding datum references to a cylindricity FCF.
- Applying cylindricity to a pattern.
- Using modifiers other than ST where allowed.
