How to Evaluate Maximum Clearance?

Maximum Clearance evaluator uses Maximum Clearance = Maximum Limit Size of hole-Minimum Limit Size of Shaft to evaluate the Maximum Clearance, Maximum Clearance is defined as the maximum width of gap between two given surfaces. The maximum size of the shaft is smaller than the minimum hole size. Maximum Clearance is denoted by Cmax symbol.

How to evaluate Maximum Clearance using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Maximum Clearance, enter Maximum Limit Size of hole (Hmax) & Minimum Limit Size of Shaft (Smin) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Maximum Clearance
