PART STACKS

Upon completion of this unit the student will be able to :
* Calculate part stacks using position tolerances with bonus tolerances
(with planar or RES datums)
itPart Stacks Using Position (Bonus)
Explanation
‘Whenever a feature-of-size is located with a tolerance of position, the effects from the
tolerance of position must be included in the stack. This unit covers stacks which:
* include bonus tolerances
+ do not involve shift tolerances
‘This type of application occurs when the MMC modifier is used in the tolerance portion
of the feature control frame and planar datums are referenced (or the RFS modifier is
used in the datum reference.) See figure 11-1

‘Whenever a tolerance of position uses the MMC modifier in the tolerance portion of
the feature control frame, it means a bonns tolerance may be available. A key to using
bonus tolerance in stacks is to remember that maximum bonus is available only when the
toleranced feature-of-size is at least material condition (LMC).

FIGURE 11-2, TOLERANCE OF POSITION TOLERANCE ZONE (MMC)
The “actual” feature-of-size (hole, pin, ete.) could be anywhere within the "total"
tolerance zone. See figure 11-2. For stack purposes, the actual feature-of-size is consid-
ered to be at its extreme location relative to its true position (basic location). Point A (in
figure 11-2) shows the extreme location for an MMC feature-of-size — half the posi-
tional tolerance value from its basic location.
Point B, in figure 11-2, shows the extreme location for a least material condition
featute-of-size — half the positional tolerance plus the radial bonus tolerance. The radial
bonus tolerance is equal to half the total bonus because stacks use the radius of the
feature-of-size.
‘As shown in Unit 10, a tolerance of position uses 3 lines on the stack form. One line
{for the position tolerance. One line for the bonus tolerance, and one line for the shift
tolerance. This explanation will focus on ways the bonus tolerance is recorded.

11-2When recording the bonus tolerance, you must first identify the stack condition. Two
stack conditions are possible:
1. Ifonly the centerline of the feature-of-size is used in a stack.
2. If the radius of the feature-of-size is used in the stack.
To determine which stack condition exists, look at the entries associated with the
position tolerance. If the radius of the feature-of-size is not used, then condition number
1 exists. See figure 11-3 A for an example. If the radius of the feature-of-size is used in
the stack, then condition number 2 exists. See figure 11-3 B for an example. If the radius
is used, it will appear in one of two places: the stack line immediately proceeding the 3
lines used for the position callout or on the stack line immediately following the 3 lines
used for the position callout.

FIGURE 11-3, STACK CONDITIONS FOR BONUS TOLERANCES
On the stack line which contains the bonus, a number is entered in the
“comments no." column. In the "comments box" enter the same number and a code for
stack condition and tolerance type. The code is derived from the "bonus/shift" chart
shown in figure 11-4, The code consists of two digits. The first digit is a number which
represents the stack condition (1 or 2). The second digit is a lewter which represents the
type of tolerance, "B" for bonus or "S" for shift. An example is shown in figure 11~
The information in the appropriate cell of the bonus/shift chart shows how to record
the bonus tolerance on the stack form. Study the stacks on pages 11-7 and 11-8 to see
how the bonus tolerance is recorded.
NOTE: Becauise the feature-of-size which is used to determine the bonus tolerance
value can be on a line after the line for bonus on the stack form, itis easier to complete
all of the stack entries and then go back and determine the bonus (and shift) values.

FIGURE 11-4. BONUS/SHIFT CHART
Note for stack on page 11-7:
When doing this stack the bonus on line G could not be determined until line I was
completed. This condition of not being able to complete a bonus or a shift until
additional lines are completed is common in stacks. This is an example of why it is easier
to complete all of the stack entries first and then go back and determine the bonus (or
shift) values.

14Unit 1 Part Stacks Using Position (Bonus)
The least material condition (LMC) modifier and projected tolerance zone modifier
are used occasionally on engineering drawings. Therefore, it is important to know how to
use these modifiers in stacks.
First let's discuss the LMC modifier. Two common uses of the LMC modifier are:
1, To control a minimum wall thickness
2. To control minimum clean-up stock of a casting
When the LMC modifier is used in the tolerance portion of the feature control frame,
it means that a bonus tolerance is allowed. The LMC bonus concept works "in reverse"
to the MMC bonus concept.
In other words, zero bonus is available when the feature-of-size is at LMC and the
maximum bonus is available when the feature-of-size is at MMC. The chart in figure 11-5
shows how bonus from the LMC modifier is accounted for in stacks.

‘As you can see in figure 11-6, the projected tolerance zone modifier relocates the
tolerance zone, from being within the part to being above the part. This limits the
squareness of the hole without penalizing the location of the hole. This eliminates the
angle of the bolt having an impact on the stack, Therefore, whenever the projected
tolerance zone modifier is used, the stack is simplified because the angle of the bolt is
within the tolerance zone and does not affect the stack. The projected tolerance zone
modifier is not shown on the stack form. Its effects, although not shown, are important to
the funetion of the product.Unit LL Part Stacks Using Position (Bonus)

11-13Unit 11 Part Stacks Using Position (Bonus)
Summary
When a tolerance of position is specified with an MMC modifier in the tolerance
portion of the feature control frame, a bonus tolerance is available. The bonus occurs
when the toleranced feature-of-size is at least material condition (LMC).
There are two different ways of handling bonus, depending on whether the stack uses
the centerline of the feature-of-size (stack condition #1), or the radius of the feature-of-
size (stack condition #2). If the stack uses the centerline, the max. (radial) bonus goes in
both columns. If the stack uses the radius, max. bonus is included in the LMC radius
column and zero bonus goes in the MMC radius column.
