Orientation Controls
Chapter Goals
Introduction
We are going to explore controls that apply to
the orientation of a part.
These controls are for the perpendicularity,
angularity and parallelism of the part.
Orientation controls are used when other
drawing limits are inadequate to control the
assembly or fit for function of a part.
Perpendicularity Control
Perpendicularity
The condition that results when a surface, axis
or centerplane is exactly 90 degrees to a
datum.
Perpendicularity Control
A Cylinder
Perpendicularity Applications
Applied to a surface
Shape of the zone is two parallel planes
perpendicular to the datum plane.
Tolerance value of the perpendicularity control
defines the distance separating the two planes.
All elements of the surface must be within the
tolerance zone.
The perpendicular tolerance zone limits the
flatness of the tolerance surface.

Parallelism Control
Implied Parallelism
If two surfaces are shown parallel on a drawing,
the size dimensions of the surfaces controls the
parallelism between the surfaces.
Poor inspection due to lack of datums and
parallelism has same dimensions as size.
Not a good way to design.

Parallelism Control
Parallelism is the condition that results when a
surface, axis or centerplane is exactly parallel
to a datum.
The control is a geometric tolerance that
limits the amount a surface, axis or
centerplane is permitted to vary from being
parallel to the datum.

Axis Theory:

TOP at MMC
Hole must be specified limit of size.
Located so no element of its surface will be inside
a theoretical boundary.
Theoretical boundary centered about true
position of the hole.
Theoretical boundary is equal to the MMC of the
FOS minus the TOP tolerance.

Axis Theory
Used when TOP is applied at RFS.
Specified TOP applies at whatever size the FOS is
produced at.
Axis of the hole AME must be within the TOP
tolerance zone cylinder.
The TOP tolerance zone cylinder is centered
around the true position of the hole.
The diameter of the TOP tolerance zone is equal
to the tolerance value specified in the TOP
callout.
67
68
Axis Theory
A TOP is also an indirect orientation control.
The theoretical boundary is orientated
relative to the primary datum referenced in
the TOP callout.
Tolerance zone that controls the location of
the FOS also limits the orientation of the FOS.

Bi-Directional TOP
There are times we need to provide a hole a
tolerance in more than one direction. This is
where a bi-directional control is used.
Two feature control frames are used and each
one is attached to a dimension line of the hole
in the direction you need controlled.
Figure 9-2 is an example of this instance.

Elongated Holes
Elongated holes are unique in the application of
TOP. One would think that this type of hole
needs to have bi-directional TOP controls. In fact
this is the best way of design but you could still
use one TOP.
Again the feature control frames are attached to
the dimension lines and the word BOUNDARY is
added beneath each feature control frame.
Figure 9-3 is an example of this application.

Concentricity Control
147
148
Concentricity Control
The concentricity control is a geometric
tolerance that limits concentricity error
specifically for a part feature.
Tolerance zone is a 3 dimensional cylinder
coaxial with the datum axis.
Diameter of the cylinder is equal to the
concentricity tolerance value.
Concentricity is only applied at RFS and a
datum needs to be specified.

Symmetry
Symmetry is the condition where the median
points of all opposed elements of two or
more feature surfaces are congruent with the
axis or centerplane of a datum feature.
What this means is that opposed points must
be equally spaced or apart and meet the
conditions of the control.

Symmetry Application
When a symmetrical control is specified, the
part in question usually needs to have a
specific attribute of a part controlled. Specific
areas may include wall thickness, functional
appearance and other factors that include
balance and fit.
If a symmetry control is applied, the following
applies:
173
Symmetry Application
Controlled feature must meet size and rule
one requirements.
Tolerance zone is two parallel planes centered
about the datum centerplane.
Tolerance value of the symmetry control
dictates distance between parallel planes.
All median points of the toleranced feature
must be within the tolerance zone.

Runout Controls

Chapter Goals
182
Runout
Runout is a composite control. That is the form,
location and orientation of a part feature is
controlled simultaneously.
Runout controls may also control coaxiality of
diameters.
Runout must always be applied with a datum
reference.
Runout may be applied to any feature that
surrounds or intersects a datum axis.
Runout is measured as the max indicator reading
on the feature when rotated 360 degrees.
183
Circular runout
First we must establish a datum axis.
We do so by:
184
185
Circular Runout
Circular runout is a composite control, that is
a control for form, orientation and location of
circular elements of a part feature.
A circular runout control is a geometric
tolerance that limits the amount of circular
runout of a part surface.
Circular runout may control location or if
applied to a diameter, the form and location of
a datum axis.
186
Circular Runout
The tolerance zone for circular runout is two
coaxial circles whose centers are located on
the datum axis.
The outer tolerance zone circle is established
by the feature element farthest from the
datum axis. The inner circle is offset by the
tolerance amount.
All surface elements must reside within the
tolerance zone circles.
Figure 11-3 illustrates this
187
188
Circular Runout
Circular runout, being a composite control,
measures several different errors with a single
measurement. Figure 11-4 illustrates these
various errors.
Each error is measured by a single reading.

A composite control that affects form,

elements, either a diameter or a surface,
relative to a datum axis.
If applied to a diameter, the tolerance zone is
two coaxial cylinders with centers located on
the datum axis.
Figure 11-9 illustrates this principle.

This is a calculation to find the max/min
distance on a part. When we calculate these
values all tolerances must be used.
This calculation in figure 11-17 is one example
and may be used for circular or total runout.

Profile
A profile line control applies to line elements
of the toleranced surface.

Similar to profile of a surface except tolerance
zone is two dimensional for a line whereas it
is three dimensional for a surface.
Profile of a line control is a geometric
tolerance that limits the amount of error for
line elements relative to their true profile.
Profile of a line controls in one direction. May
be used with multiple single-segment controls
or with profile of surface control.
