So...I have this assembly. There are total of 7 components (4 flange, 2 shim, 1 plate)contained in a space (8th component) connected with a pivot pin. On the other side of the plate is a locating pin going into a bushing. I want the plate to rotate around the pin but having a tight fit (sliding fit probably) so that it can precisely position the pin and pushing repeatedly. How do I use 1)the shim, 2)set plate width tolerance, and 3)set space tolerance to achieve my goal? Below shows the width of each component and their tolerances. Thank you.



4X2mm 4X+-0.01mm 2x0.02" 2x+-0.0015"
Space Tol. Plate Tol. Flange Tol. Shim Tol. Total Width Tol Clearance

vlg426,

This sounds like a limit fit problem, not a tolerance stack.

Grab your Machinery's Handbook, and read up on the limits and fits. Pick a suitable fit.
