About H7/e8

Coarser than H7/e7 for less critical plain bearings where the shaft is only held to IT8: conveyor rollers, agricultural machinery shafts.

At Ø25 mm the hole H7 measures 0 mm to +0.021 mm and the shaft e8 −0.073 mm to −0.040 mm, giving a clearance of 0.040 mm to 0.094 mm.

How the limits are calculated

Hole H7: fundamental deviation EI = 0, standard tolerance IT7 = 21 µm for 18–30 mm. Shaft e8: fundamental deviation es = -40 µm, IT8 = 33 µm. Clearance = hole − shaft, evaluated at both extremes. See the fundamental deviation table for every letter. Values per ISO 286-1:2010.

Deviations in mm at the upper end of each range; negative clearance = interference. Clearance columns are shown on wider screens. Sub-ranges (e.g. 18–24 / 24–30) can differ for r, s, t, u, v, x, y, z — use the calculator for the exact size. “—” means ISO 286 doesn't define this class below that size (e.g. t only starts at 24 mm).

Is H7/e8 a clearance fit?

Yes — H7/e8 is a clearance fit per ISO 286 (see types of fits). At Ø25 mm it gives a clearance of 0.040 mm to 0.094 mm mm, depending which parts of the tolerance zones are paired.

What is the H7/e8 tolerance at 25 mm?

At a nominal size of Ø25 mm, H7 allows a hole diameter from 25.000 to 25.021 mm, and e8 allows a shaft diameter from 24.927 to 24.960 mm.
