The difference between the maximum limit of size and the nominal size.
Precise locating pins, pulleys, and components that need accurate alignment but must be disassembled occasionally. Common ISO designations: H7/k6 or H7/n6. The Two Fit Systems: Hole-Basis vs. Shaft-Basis
All values are provided in millimeters (mm), with tolerances often measured in microns ( Key Technical Components of DIN 7161

The shaft is always smaller than the hole, allowing for free movement (e.g., a rotating axle). Transition Fit:
DIN 7161 acts as a bridge between the designer’s dream and the machinist’s reality. While a designer might imagine a perfect 50mm shaft, the machinist knows perfection is impossible. DIN 7161 provides the "Tolerance Tables"—a set of rules that define exactly how much "imperfection" is allowed for the machine to still function perfectly. The Mechanics of the Story
