Engineering Standards SPECIFICATIONS

________________________________________________________________________

General Default Tolerances

SCOPE:
This standard provides a general tolerance for dimensions on part drawings where a specific tolerance is
not specified. JDS-G25 applies to all old drawings adopted before 01 June 1994.

APPLICATION OF TOLERANCES:
All attempts should be made to tolerance every dimension on the drawing. If any
dimension is not properly toleranced then this standard must be specified in the general
notes of the part drawing to apply.
Example: UNLESS OTHEWISE SPECIFIED
TOLERANCES PER JDE 10030

This standard will not override any other standard called out on the part drawing.
Example: Reference to hardware standard, sprocket standard, etc.

GENERAL TOLERANCES:

1. Formed or Fabricated
Linear Dimensions +/- 1mm

Bend Radius Dimensions:

Note: If inside Radius is distorted verification of Radius can be made
from external Bend form,
Note: If tooling marks are not allowed (i.e. from Hammerle Type Press)
note must be added:
MARK NOT TOLERATED

John Deere Ottumwa:

Regardless of material thickness: +1.5mm; -1mm
John Deere Arc Les Gray:
Material thickness <= 6mm (+1mm; -2mm)
Material thickness > 6mm (+1mm; -3mm)

Angular Dimensions:
Bend Angles - material thickness <2 mm (+/- 3 deg)

 Bend Angles - material thickness >=2 and <3.5 mm (+/- 1.5 deg)
Bend Angles - material thickness >= 3.5 mm (+/- 1 deg)
Angles other than bends +/-1 deg.

When no radius is specified, a sharp corner to 1.5 mm max chamfer or radius is allowed,
unless otherwise specified.

The notes "BREAK CORNER" and "FREE FROM BURRS" - allow a 0.2mm min. to 1.5mm max.
corner break. A corner break may be either a chamfer or a radius.

2. Hole Tolerance
a. General Hole Tolerance
Material thickness <= 5mm (+0.25mm; -0.25mm)
Material thickness > 5mm (+0.4mm; -0.25mm)

b. Drilled Holes
Hole tolerances specified with “DRILL” or “REAM” on the part drawing should follow tolerances
listed in the chart below unless otherwise specified.

HOLE SIZE NON HEAT TREATED AFTER HEAT

mm TOLERANCE TREATED
Over TO & Incl. Plus Minus Plus Minus
--- 6 0.2 0.05 0.3 0.1
6 19 0.25 0.05 0.4 0.1
19 32 0.3 0.08 0.46 0.15
32 --- 0.5 0.08 0.76 0.25

3. Castings (Steel and Aluminum)

Steel - See JDM B2
Iron - See JDM B15
Aluminum – See ISO 8062

4. Machine Finished Dimensions

Turned or bored diameter or length +/- 0.5mm

Planed, shaped or milled surface

For dimensions from another finished surface +/- 0.5mm
For dimensions from a locating point on an unfinished surface +/- 0.8mm
For dimensions without locating points on an unfinished surface +/- 1.0mm

Fillet radii +/- 0.5

When no radius is specified, a sharp corner to 1.5 mm max chamfer or radius is allowed.

The notes "BREAK CORNER" and "FREE FROM BURRS" - allow a 0.2mm min. to 1.5mm max.
corner break. A corner break may be either a chamfer or a radius.

Angles and Chamfers +/- 5 deg.

 Default surface finish for surfaces designated with finish mark shall be max. 3.2 mircometers, unless
otherwise specified.

5. Welding
Feature Location Dimensions (+1.5mm, -1.5mm)
Refer to JDV 20 for information on Welding Tolerances.

6. Distortion
The maximum permissible distortion due to fabrication operations (punching, shearing, bending,
and laser) other than cross breaks on sheet metal and bend intersections shall be 1.5mm. This
permissible distortion shall be in addition to the commercial form tolerances for steel as described
in JDM, ASTM, AISI, and ISO or DIN manuals. All parts with distortion greater than 1.5mm shall
be flattened in the distortion area with no drawing note required.

For parts were distortion greater than 1.5mm can be allowed, then “DISTORTION PERMISSIBLE” or
“XX MAX DISTORTION PERMISSIBLE” shall be noted on drawing. All distortion notes applying to a
limited area shall use a leader line to indicate the area to which the note applies.

All parts requiring closer control of flatness or straightness than commercial form tolerances
and/or distortion less than 1.5mm shall be noted on the drawing.

Distortion is permissible on all cross breaks and bend intersections on all parts unless otherwise
specified.
