specify the size, shape, and

location of features.

It provides clear
instructions for

assembly.
@one1techfunda
 14
How can you ensure your
drawing is properly scaled?

First, I choose an appropriate

Mechanical Engineering
scale based on the size of the
Technical drawing &

object and the drawing space

available.

I make sure to double-check the

Q&A
50

dimensions against the original

specifications, measuring key
features to confirm their
accuracy.

Finally, I review the drawing

against any reference materials
or specifications to ensure
consistency and correctness.

 21
What is a fit in engineering?

Mechanical Engineering
Technical drawing &

A fit refers to the

relationship between two
Q&A

mating parts of
50

components in order to
deliver their specific
function.

@one1techfunda
 22
What are the main types of
fits?

Mechanical Engineering 1. Clearance fit; This means that

there is a slight gap between
Technical drawing &

the mating surfaces.

2. Interference fit; It Requires
parts to be forced together,
Q&A

resulting in a tight fit that

50

provides strong bonding or

friction.
3. Transition fit; it Falls between
clearance and interference fits,
allowing for either slight
clearance or slight interference
depending on the
manufacturing variations.
@one1techfunda
 23
How are fits classified?

Fits are classified into three

Mechanical Engineering categories:
Loose Fits: Designed for
Technical drawing &

easy assembly and

movement (clearance).
Normal Fits: Designed for
Q&A
50

a specific relationship,
which may allow for slight
clearance or interference.
Tight Fits: Intended for a
snug connection with little
or no movement
(interference).
@one1techfunda
 24
Why is it important to specify
fits in engineering drawings?

Mechanical Engineering
Technical drawing &

Fits is essential for ensuring

proper assembly, function,
and performance of parts.
Q&A
50

It helps prevent issues such

as excessive wear,
misalignment, and failure
of the assembly.

@one1techfunda
 25
How do you determine the
appropriate fit for a design?

Mechanical Engineering
Technical drawing &

The appropriate fit is

determined by considering
factors such as the function
Q&A
50

of the parts, the required

movement or play,
manufacturing capabilities,
and the assembly process.

@one1techfunda
 26
What is a tolerance zone?
upper
Mechanical Engineering
lower
A tolerance zone is the
Technical drawing &

range of acceptable
dimensions for a fit,
defined by upper and
Q&A
50

lower limits.

It ensures that parts meet

the specified fit
requirements while
allowing for
manufacturing variations.
@one1techfunda
 27
What is the difference
between clearance and
interference fits?
Mechanical Engineering
Clearance fits provide a
Technical drawing &

space between parts,

allowing for free movement,
while interference fits
Q&A
50

require parts to be forced

together, resulting in a tight
bond.
Clearance fits are typically
used for rotating or sliding
parts, whereas interference
fits are used for securing
components. @one1techfunda
 28
Can you provide an
example of a common
application for each fit type?
Mechanical Engineering
•Clearance Fit: Used in shaft
Technical drawing &

and hole assemblies where

movement is required, like in
bearings.

•Interference Fit: Common in

press-fit applications, such as
fitting gears onto shafts.
•Transition Fit: Used in
applications where precision is
required, such as in high-
