About H7/m6

Tighter than k6; parts that must not move under vibration but are still removable: bearing bushes, gears, couplings.

At Ø25 mm the hole H7 measures 0 mm to +0.021 mm and the shaft m6 +0.008 mm to +0.021 mm, giving between 0.021 mm interference and 0.013 mm clearance.

How the limits are calculated

Hole H7: fundamental deviation EI = 0, standard tolerance IT7 = 21 µm for 18–30 mm. Shaft m6: fundamental deviation ei = 8 µm, IT6 = 13 µm. Clearance = hole − shaft, evaluated at both extremes. See the fundamental deviation table for every letter. Values per ISO 286-1:2010.

Deviations in mm at the upper end of each range; negative clearance = interference. Clearance columns are shown on wider screens. Sub-ranges (e.g. 18–24 / 24–30) can differ for r, s, t, u, v, x, y, z — use the calculator for the exact size. “—” means ISO 286 doesn't define this class below that size (e.g. t only starts at 24 mm).

Is H7/m6 a clearance fit?

Not always — H7/m6 is a transition fit per ISO 286 (see types of fits). At Ø25 mm it gives between 0.021 mm mm interference and 0.013 mm mm clearance, depending which parts of the tolerance zones are paired.

What is the H7/m6 tolerance at 25 mm?

At a nominal size of Ø25 mm, H7 allows a hole diameter from 25.000 to 25.021 mm, and m6 allows a shaft diameter from 25.008 to 25.021 mm.
