CONSIDERATIONS ON THE ADJUSTMENTS AND TOLERANCES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF LOCOMOTIVES

As it is known, the application of adjustments and tolerances in mechanical constructions has as its primary object the interchangeability of the parts that are manufactured in series; Is of great interest not only in new construction but also in repairs. To this end, special measuring instruments called calibers are used, which for both holes (male gauge) and axes (female gauge) are double and have the so-called "pass" side which, as the name implies, must be passed or introduced In the piece and the "not pass" side, which, on the other hand, must not pass or enter the piece, and must therefore be Dimension of the latter between the two sides of the gauge.
