H7/x6 fit — Force fit
ISO 286 hole-basis interference fit. Enter a nominal size to get the limits.
About H7/x6
The heaviest standard shrink/press fit, for permanent, high-torque assemblies; expect to heat the hub or cool the shaft substantially before assembly.
At Ø25 mm the hole H7 measures 0 mm to +0.021 mm and the shaft x6 +0.064 mm to +0.077 mm, giving an interference of 0.043 mm to 0.077 mm.
How the limits are calculated
Hole H7: fundamental deviation EI = 0, standard tolerance IT7 = 21 µm for 18–30 mm. Shaft x6: fundamental deviation ei = 64 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/x6 a clearance fit?
No — H7/x6 is an interference fit per ISO 286 (see types of fits). At Ø25 mm it gives an interference of 0.043 mm to 0.077 mm mm, depending which parts of the tolerance zones are paired.
What is the H7/x6 tolerance at 25 mm?
At a nominal size of Ø25 mm, H7 allows a hole diameter from 25.000 to 25.021 mm, and x6 allows a shaft diameter from 25.064 to 25.077 mm.
