MMC Maximum Material Condition LMC Least Material Condition Virtual Condition Tolerance boundary that is constant for all sizes and generated by the cumulative effects of size and geometric tolerance at MMC. Max material condition adds to the tolerance frame not to the feature size.
The tolerance frame dictates where the hole is located.
Maximum material condition position tolerance. Specifying the Position Tolerance at MMC1 Where the maximum material condition MMC symbol is specified to modify the tolerance of a feature of size in a feature control frame the following two requirements apply. The specified tolerance applies at the MMC size. Note that in this case we have also included the Maximum Material Condition MMC modifier on our tolerance of position.
That is because we know that the larger we make the hole the more location error it can have and the fence post will still fit in it. Maximum Material Condition MMC is a feature of size symbol that describes the condition of a feature or part where the maximum amount of material volumesize exists within its dimensional tolerance. Approaches for tolerance stacks this method can be applied to all three material conditions Maximum Material Condition Least Material Condition and R egardless of Feature Size and is easier for stude nts to learn and remember the formulas.

The effect of specifying axis straightness with the MMC material condition. Zero Positional Tolerance at Maximum Material Condition 1. 856 SALT LAKE COURT SAN JOSE CA 95133 408 2515329 Zero Positional Tolerance at Maximum Material Condition1 Which has more tolerance the drawing in Fig.
7-17Aa typical plus or minus tolerance for clearance holesor the drawing in Fig. 7-17Ba zero positional tolerance at. Maximum Material Condition MMC And Least Material Condition LMC are two key elements of GD T to leverage tolerance on critical parts.
MMC and LMC offer flexibility in tolerances called Bonus Tolerance. Many of us may not know about Maximum material calculation and least material condition calculations and what does that actually means. Max material condition adds to the tolerance frame not to the feature size.
The tolerance frame dictates where the hole is located. Max material allows for more error in location. For example you have a 1000 -005 hole with a tolerance frame of 005m A.
A circled M for maximum material condition MMC or a circled L for least material condition LMC. MMC is used more commonly than LMC. True position tolerance is used very often with a material condition modifier.
If the pin is finished at less than its MMC and closer to its LMC limits the clearance gained can be used as a bonus tolerance for form or position. In our example Figure 3. Pin diameter at Maximum Material Condition.
Pin diameter at MMC 25. Maximum Material Condition MMC The maximum material condition is used when designing two mating parts. Taking a shaft designed to fit into a bore as an example this specification ensures that the shaft actually fits into the bore under the maximum material condition MMC while also preventing excessively strict size tolerance from being.
Maximum Material Condition MMC It refers to a feature of size. The feature of size is nothing but the set of parallel surfaces associated with the size dimension This is a condition where there exists a maximum amount of material within the given dimension tolerance zone for. 2513 that the four holes and the spigot are dimensioned at the maximum material condition.
It follows that if any hole is larger than 1200 it will have the effect of increasing the positional tolerance for that hole. If the spigot is machined to less than 5005 then the positional tolerance for the four holes as a group will also increase. Maximum Material Condition MMC exists when a part or feature contains the maximum amount of material everywhere eg.
Minimum size hole or maximum size shaft. In certain cases its use allows an increase in the specified tolerance often termed a bonus tolerance if it is indicated that the tolerance applies to the feature at its maximum material condition. Maximum Material Conditional is one of the dimensional limits on a part.
The other side of the tolerance range would be the Least Material Condition. The only GDT symbols where you can apply Maximum Material Condition are. Straightness Parallelism Perpendicularity Angularity True Position the most common use for MMC.
Tolerance Stacks GDT Store Maximum Material Condition MMC Back to Table of Contents. Max is watching his weight. He doesnt want to be too fat or too thin.
So he has a maximum size he allows himself to be and he has a minimum size he allows himself to be. Max refers to his maximum allowable size as Maximum Mutt Condition MMC. The goal of a maximum material condition callout is to ensure that when the part is in its worst tolerances the Perpendicularity and size of the holepin will always assemble together.
This means that if you make a pin smaller you make more bonus tolerance for yourself. MMC Maximum Material Condition LMC Least Material Condition Virtual Condition Tolerance boundary that is constant for all sizes and generated by the cumulative effects of size and geometric tolerance at MMC. For an internal feature of size with MMC specified Virtual Condition MMC - Geometric tolerance or as-manufactured size - allowed geometric tolerance at that size.
Maximum Material Condition MMC In GDT maximum material condition MMC refers to a feature-of-size that contains the greatest amount of material yet remains within its tolerance zone. Some examples of MMC include. In contrast least material condition LMC refers to a feature of size containing the.
Process capability prediction methods for position tolerance under maximum material condition were discussed in this paper. Due to application of maximum material condition the position tolerance specification varied individually for each part percentage normalization and minimum gap methods were introduced to calculate the position process capability index. MMC - Maximum Material Condition LMC - Least Material Condition RFS - Regardless of Feature of Size.
MMC - Maximum Material Condition. MMC Maximum Material Condition is defined as the condition of a feature which contains the maximum amount of material that is the smallest hole or largest pin within the stated limits of size. – Effect of MMC Maximum Material Condition.
MMC Maximum Material Condition LMC Least Material Condition Virtual Condition Tolerance boundary that is constant for all sizes and generated by the cumulative effects of size and geometric tolerance at MMC. For an external feature of size with MMC specified Virtual Condition MMC Geometric tolerance or as-manufactured size allowed geometric tolerance at that size. When the maximum metal condition symbol M in circle when used in the tolerance frame it is indicated by a symbol placed after - the tolerance value - the datum letter - or both.
With maximum material requirement the two requirements size and geometrical tolerance are transformed into one collective requirement. In the figure below the.
