    Tie Bar Strain Variation

    I am looking for a reference on allowable strain on a tie bar and allowable variation between all four bars. I would not think it could be more than a couple .001" but is there a reference. I looked in my machine manual and strain gauge sites, no help. The machine is a nissei 360.
