Summary
Perpendicularity controls the orientation of a surface or axis relative to a datum at 90 degrees.
Definition
For planar features, the tolerance zone is two perpendicular planes oriented to the datum. For axes or cylindrical features of size, the zone is a cylinder oriented perpendicular to the datum.
When to use it
Use perpendicularity to keep a surface or axis orthogonal to a datum reference, such as a mounting face to a base plane or a bore axis to a datum axis.
Examples
Example: Planar surface perpendicular to datum A
Perpendicularity applied to a face with datum A as the reference.
Example: Cylindrical feature of size perpendicular to datum A
Perpendicularity applied to a hole axis with the diameter modifier.
Common mistakes
- Missing the primary datum reference.
- Applying perpendicularity to the same feature as the datum.
- Omitting the diameter modifier for cylindrical features of size.
