Tell me something about the geometric tolerances

Question

Accepted Answer

Geometric tolerances are specified dimensions used to control the form, profile, orientation, and location of features on a part.

Geometric tolerances ensure that parts are manufactured within specified limits for form, fit, and function.
They include symbols such as concentricity, perpendicularity, parallelism, and position to define allowable variations.
Geometric tolerances are often used in conjunction with traditional linear dimensions to fully define part geometry.
They help improve the quality and consistency of manufactured parts by providing clear guidelines for production.
Examples include specifying the maximum allowable deviation of a hole's position from a reference point or the acceptable range of angles for a machined surface.
