Fundamental Deviation of shaft and holes– Fundamental deviation is an allowance rather than tolerance. The allowance is simply the deviation between the hole minimum diameter to the shaft maximum diameter. Where the tolerance refer to either hole (Max. dia of hole-Min. Dia. of the hole) or shaft (Max. Dia. of the shaft- Min. Dia. of […]
In Mechanical Engineering, Machine Design is subjected to creating new or Advanced machines. This involves improving the existing machines to better machines.
The design process is a time-consuming process which includes implementing an Idea and considering the commercial and economic aspects, Making the idea into a shape in the form of drawings by keeping the available resources in mind to make the actual Idea into a life.

Hole Basis System and Shaft Basis system – In the Machine design process there are different components that are mated together to make the machine. These components will have different functions. Based on their type of functions there must be the type of fits between the two mating components should be determined. How actually can […]
What are the different types of Fits in Engineering?
Types of Fits In Engineering-In mechanical engineering, the Mating of two components is to be determined based on the function of the two components. Even though the fasteners make them tight but tightness between the two surfaces may be needed high in some applications wherein in other applications it is not required to be that […]
What are the important Terms used in Limit System?
In mechanical engineering System of limits or Limit System is a concept of controlling the sizes of machine elements while manufacturing each component. Because taking exact dimensions is an ideal condition but in practical(Manufacturing/Measuring) methods, it is not possible. So limit system enables how much amount of deviation is acceptable. How do we apply the limit system […]

Types of Screws | Screw Head types
The screw is a type of fastener having an external thread(male thread). In this article, we are going to discuss different types of screws and screw head types with their importance and application. Some threads are designed to mate with a complementary thread, known as a female thread (inner thread), often in the form of […]
Shear Modulus | Modulus of Rigidity
Shear modulus is also known as Modulus of rigidity. It is the coefficient of the elasticity to shear force. In this article, we have discussed the shear modulus briefly with an example along with the modulus rigidity of most commonly used materials. Shear modulus or Modulus of Rigidity is by definition “The ratio of the […]
Polar Moment of Inertia
We know what is a mass moment of inertia, it is a resistance force of a physical object to any change in its state of motion, But what is a polar moment of inertia? By definition Polar Moment of Inertia is a measure of resistibility of a shaft against the twisting. Polar moment of inertia […]
Shear Force and bending moment diagram
Shear force and Bending moment diagram in beams can be useful to determine the maximum absolute value of the shear force and the bending moment of the beams with respect to the relative load. Before we are drawing the Shear force and Bending moment diagram, we must know different type of beams and different type […]
Hooke’s Law Definition | What is Hooke’s Law?
Hooke’s law is the behavioural principle of elastic materials where how the deformations are taken place in the elastic materials with respect to the applied load. Once the applied load crosses the elastic limit, the material will not obey the Hooke’s law. Hooke’s law stated that The strain in a solid body is directly proportional […]
What is Inertia? | moment of inertia
In the study of a moving object, the concept of Inertia is the internal resisting force that helps the body to stop at a point after removing the influence of the external force. Now you have an idea of what is inertia. Let’s have a deep look into it. What is Inertia? By definition Inertia […]
What is Regardless of feature size (RFS) in GD&T?
In the Design of any machine elements, it is necessary to follow the Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing for the Holes or shafts.
