About H8/g7

Coarser than H7/g6 for guide pins, sliding sleeves and levers needing smooth, near-zero-play motion but made on general-purpose (not precision) machine tools.

At Ø25 mm the hole H8 measures 0 mm to +0.033 mm and the shaft g7 −0.028 mm to −0.007 mm, giving a clearance of 0.007 mm to 0.061 mm.

How the limits are calculated

Hole H8: fundamental deviation EI = 0, standard tolerance IT8 = 33 µm for 18–30 mm. Shaft g7: fundamental deviation es = -7 µm, IT7 = 21 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 H8/g7 a clearance fit?

Yes — H8/g7 is a clearance fit per ISO 286 (see types of fits). At Ø25 mm it gives a clearance of 0.007 mm to 0.061 mm mm, depending which parts of the tolerance zones are paired.

What is the H8/g7 tolerance at 25 mm?

At a nominal size of Ø25 mm, H8 allows a hole diameter from 25.000 to 25.033 mm, and g7 allows a shaft diameter from 24.972 to 24.993 mm.
