or only swinging.
H9/e9, H8/e8, H7/e7, E9/h9, Running fits with greater clearances without any special Main fits of machine tools. General fits of
E8/h8, E8/h7 requirements for fit accuracy shafts, regulator bearings, machine tool
spindles, sliding rods.
H9/f8, H8/f8, H8/f7, H7/f7, Running fits with smaller clearances with general Main fits of machine tools. General fits of
F8/h7, F8/h6 requirements for fit accuracy shafts, regulator bearings, machine tool
spindles, sliding rods.
H8/g7, H7/g6, G7/h6 Running fits with very small clearances for accurate Parts of machine tools, sliding gears and
guiding of shafts. Without any noticeable clearance clutch disks, crankshaft journals, pistons of
after assembly. hydraulic machines, rods sliding in bearings,
grinding machine spindles.
H11/h11, H11/h9 Slipping fits of parts with great tolerances. The parts Easily demountable parts, distance rings,
can easily be slid one into the other and turn parts of machines fixed to shafts using pins,
bolts, rivets or welds.
