Unit 10 Part Stacks Using Position Unit 1 () PART STACKS USING POSITION (RFS) Upon completion of this unit the student will be able to : + Calculate part stacks using position tolerances (RFS) 10-1Explanation Whenever a part feature-of-size is located with a tolerance of position, the effects of | ‘the position callout mist be included in the incl "This unit covers stacks which Use position, regardless of feature FS). Tolerance of position RFS occurs when the RFS modifier is used in the feature control frame (or when planar datums are referenced.)

TOLERANCE OF POSITION CALLOUT EXAMPLE (RFS) Whenever a tolerance of position RFS is specified, it means no bonus (or shift) tolerance is available. Figure 10-2 shows a typical RFS tolerance of position tolerance zone. The “actual” feature-of-size (hole, pin, etc.) could be anywhere within the position tolerance zone. For stack purposes, the actual feature-of-size is considered to be at its extreme location relative to its true position (basic location). See points A and B, in figure 10-2. ‘To account for the distance between the actual location and the true position when a tolerance of position RFS is used in a stack: * Enter half the tolerance value in the left column + Enter half the tolerance value in the right column ‘The left column will always be positive, and the right column will always be negative. 0.4 DIA.

TOLERANCE OF POSITION TOLERANCE ZONE (RES) 10-2Unit 10 Stacks Using Position ‘When making stacks with tolerance of position callouts, the basic dimension which locates the “true” position of the feature-of-size must also be accounted for in the stack. Basic dimensions are easy to enter in a stack. First, the sign (+ or -) is determined by the direction of the distance. Then, the basic dimension value is entered in both columns and a zero is shown in the tolerance column. See line E in example #1 on page 10-5. ‘A tolerance of position uses three lines in the stack form as shown in figure 10-3. ‘The first line includes: ~ The distance label and part no. ~ A description which is from the “actual location’ (o the “true position" and the position symbol = 1/2 the position tolerance value in the left column (always positive) ~ 1/2 the position tolerance value in the right column (always negative) ‘The second line includes: ~ The distance label and part no. - Acomment no. - which describes how the bonus value was determined ~ Tolerance values as appropriate ‘The third line includes: ~ The distance label and part no. - Acomment no, which describes how the shift value was determined ~ Tolerance values as appropriate. 10-38,In tolerance of position applications (RFS), there is no bonus or shifl, therefore, in all the stacks a zero is placed in the left and right columns for the bonus and shift values.
