Dimensional Tolerances For Extrusions & Machining

The document discusses dimensional tolerances for aluminum extrusions and machining. It provides tables that specify tolerances based on the size of the extrusion dimension and die circle size. Standard machining tolerances are +/- 0.010" for lead dimensions and +/- 0.005" thereafter, though tighter tolerances can be accommodated through additional machining. The document is intended to define common tolerances but notes some extrusions may exceed these levels.

DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCES FOR EXTRUSIONS & MACHINING

Our aluminum extrusions comply with or are sometimes better than the standard commercial
tolerances established by the Aluminum Association, Inc. The tolerance for an extrusion
dimension is a function of the size of the particular dimension and the circle size of the extrusion
die as shown in Table A. Tolerances for extreme fin ratios and some large extrusions tend to
exceed the tolerances listed on this table and, conversely, some of the smaller (less than 7 inch
circle size) extrusions can be supplied with half of the standard tolerances. When defining
extrusion flatness, see Table B.

Standard machining tolerances are +/- 0.010" for lead-in dimensions from edge/datum line, and
+/- 0.005” thereafter from feature to feature. Due to the nature of extruded aluminum, this may
not coincide exactly with the generic tolerances listed on most drawing title blocks. In the
majority of cases, however, it is sufficient. If you require tighter tolerance, we can accommodate
this need with additional machining. When defining machined flatness, use the statement of
0.001 inch per inch to preclude steps allowable with other methods of defining flatness. See
Table C. Please contact us with any questions or concerns regarding these tolerances.
