Study Notes
Maximum Material Condition
- When a shaft or pin is at maximum material condition, it is at its largest diameter.
- When a hole is at maximum material condition, it is at its smallest diameter.
- It is indicated by the capital letter 'M' inside a circle, depicted inside the tolerance frame.
- It can sit next to the tolerance digit, the datum letter(s), or both.
- It only applies to straightness, the three attitude tolerances, and the three location tolerances.
- It can only be applied to features whose size is specified by toleranced dimensions incorporating an axis or a median plane.
- It is not applicable to features such as threaded holes, holes intended for an interference fit, or moving mechanical linkages and precision components such as bearings and gears.
- It provides additional clearance on the given geometric tolerance.
- A maximum material tolerance of zero means that the upper limit indicates the largest permissible effective assembly dimension.
