flatness symbol on shaft diameter
flatness symbol on shaft diameter
(OP)
hello - this is my 2nd post here regarding the use of a flatness symbol on a round shaft - am i going nuts here or maybe someone here can shed some light on this -
the person who created this drawing has had aerospace experience from a highly visable company & i just am not too sure if i should challange him on the use of this
symbol in this regard - i am attaching a pic for reference - i have never seen this before - thank you in advance

What is Engineering anyway: FAQ1088-1484: In layman terms, what is "engineering"?
RE: flatness symbol on shaft diameter
But being myself I am also curious, is datum A axis of the shaft or the same flat feature Flatness is applied to?
RE: flatness symbol on shaft diameter
most around here would not even know what iso is let alone try & explain it - it really bothers me how this and other drawings made it through our
shop for manufacturing & even so far as inspection (all done accross the pond) - this also was not just a mistake -
i believe that the person who did this really has no "supposed" knowledge of geo tolerance & then this drawing was used to make similar parts in which the same error occurred -
it has become extremely sloppy all around - thank you for the rant forum & as far as a challange i am way too low on the ladder to challenge an m.e. manager on this -
just glad to know i am not totally nuts - (yet)

So if it is not ISO, is there any tolerancing standard invoked on the print? Perhaps ASME Y14.5?
There is another thing that looks suspect. If, by any chance, Rule #1 (aka Envelope Principle) is in charge, switching the symbol to straightness or cylindricty will not help - the value of this geometric tolerance shall not be greater than .025, that is total size tolerance of diameter 50.

then to just fix the drawing & go on - sad state of affairs here - thank you again
