When maximum clearance is achieved in a clearance fit, the shaft will be at its ____ size.

A) maximum
B) average
C) minimum
D) transition

Maximum Clearance

The largest allowable gap in a fit between two mating parts, ensuring that even at the upper limit of tolerance, the parts will not interfere with each other.

Clearance Fit

A type of fit where there is always a space or clearance between the mating parts, ensuring no interference during assembly.

Shaft

A cylindrical object or component that transmits rotational force or motion from one part of a machine to another.

  • Comprehend the fundamental concepts of shaft and hole fitting mechanisms.
  • Differentiate among clearance, interference, and transition as the three principal types of fits.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
In a clearance fit, the shaft is always designed to be at its minimum size so that it can easily slip into the hole. When the maximum clearance is achieved, it implies that the hole is at its maximum size and the shaft is at its minimum size, guaranteeing a gap between the two parts.
