About H7/u6

Heavy press or shrink fit for permanent assemblies under high load; requires heating the hub or cooling the shaft. See press fit tolerance for interference by size across the p6–u6 family.

At Ø25 mm the hole H7 measures 0 mm to +0.021 mm and the shaft u6 +0.048 mm to +0.061 mm, giving an interference of 0.027 mm to 0.061 mm.

How the limits are calculated

Hole H7: fundamental deviation EI = 0, standard tolerance IT7 = 21 µm for 18–30 mm. Shaft u6: fundamental deviation ei = 48 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/u6 a clearance fit?

No — H7/u6 is an interference fit per ISO 286 (see types of fits). At Ø25 mm it gives an interference of 0.027 mm to 0.061 mm mm, depending which parts of the tolerance zones are paired.

What is the H7/u6 tolerance at 25 mm?

At a nominal size of Ø25 mm, H7 allows a hole diameter from 25.000 to 25.021 mm, and u6 allows a shaft diameter from 25.048 to 25.061 mm.
