Notes for the user

The contents of this book include tables and formulae in

eight chapters including Tables of Contents Subject Index

and Standards Index

The tables contain the most important guidelines designs

types dimensions and standard values for their subject

areas

Units are not specified in the legends for the formulae if sev-

eral units are possible However the calculation examples

for each formula use those units normally applied in practice

The Table of Contents in the front of the book is expandedfurther at the beginning of each chapter in form of a partial

Table of Contents

The Subject Index at the end of the book (pages 435 ndash 444) is

extensive

The Standards Index (pages 425 ndash 434) lists all the current

standards and regulations cited in the book In many cases

previous standards are also listed to ease the transition from

older more familiar standards to new ones

Changes in the 3rd edition

In the present edition we have updated the cited standards

and restructured updated enhanced or added the follow-ing chapters in line with new developments in engineering

Standards and other Regulations

Standardization and standards terms

Standardization is the systematic achievement of uniformity of material and non-material objects such as compo-nents calculation methods process flows and services for the benefit of the general public

Types of standards and regulations (selection)

Standards term Example Explanation

Standard DIN 7157 A standard is the published work of standardization e g the selection of particularfits in DIN 7157

Part DIN 30910-2 Standards can comprise several parts associated with each other The part num-bers are appended to the main standard number with hyphens DIN 30910-2describes sintered materials for filters for example whereas Part 3 and 4 deal withsintered materials for bearings and formed parts

Supplement DIN 743Suppl 1

A supplement contains information for a standard however no additional specifi-cations The supplement DIN 743 Suppl 1 for example contains applicationexamples of load capacity calculations for shafts and axles described in DIN 743

Draft E DIN 743(2008-10)

Draft standards are made available to the public for examination and comment-ing The planned new version of DIN 743 on load-bearing calculations of shaftsand axes for example has been published since October 2008 as Draft E DIN 743

Preliminary

standard

DIN V 66304

(1991-04)

A preliminary standard contains the results of standardization which have not

been released as a standard because of certain provisos DIN V 66304 for examplediscusses a format for exchange of standard part data for computer-aided design

Issue date DIN 76-1(2004-06)

Date of publication which is made public in the DIN publication guide this is thedate at which time the standard becomes valid DIN 76-1 which sets undercutsfor metric ISO threads has been valid since June 2004 for example

Calculations with physical units are only possible if these units refer to the same base in this calculation Whensolving mathematical problems units often must be converted to basic units e g mm to m s to h mm2 to m2 Thisis done with the help of conversion factors that represent the value 1 (coherent units)

Physical quantities e g 125 mm consist of a

bull numerical value which is determined by measurement or calculation and abull unit e g m kg

Units are standardized in accordance with DIN 1301-1 (page 10)Very large or very small numerical values may be represented in a simplified wayas decimal multiples or factors with the help of prefixes e g 0004 mm = 4 microm

Convert volume V = 3416 mm3 to cm3

Volume V is multiplied by a conversion factor Its numerator has the unit cm3 and its denominator the unitmm3

V = 3416 mm3 =1 cm3 middot 3416 mm3

1000 mm3 =

3416 cm3

1000 = 3416 cm 3

The angle size specification a = 42deg 16rsquo is to be expressed in degrees (deg)

The partial angle 16rsquo must be converted to degrees (deg) The value is multiplied by a conversion factor thenumerator of which has the unit degree (deg) and the denominator the unit minute (rsquo)

983137 = 42deg + 16rsquo middot1deg60rsquo

= 42deg +16 middot 1deg

Notes for the user

The contents of this book include tables and formulae in

eight chapters including Tables of Contents Subject Index

and Standards Index

The tables contain the most important guidelines designs

types dimensions and standard values for their subject

areas

Units are not specified in the legends for the formulae if sev-

eral units are possible However the calculation examples

for each formula use those units normally applied in practice

The Table of Contents in the front of the book is expandedfurther at the beginning of each chapter in form of a partial

Table of Contents

The Subject Index at the end of the book (pages 435 ndash 444) is

extensive

The Standards Index (pages 425 ndash 434) lists all the current

standards and regulations cited in the book In many cases

previous standards are also listed to ease the transition from

older more familiar standards to new ones

Changes in the 3rd edition

In the present edition we have updated the cited standards

and restructured updated enhanced or added the follow-ing chapters in line with new developments in engineering

Standards and other Regulations

Standardization and standards terms

Standardization is the systematic achievement of uniformity of material and non-material objects such as compo-nents calculation methods process flows and services for the benefit of the general public

Types of standards and regulations (selection)

Standards term Example Explanation

Standard DIN 7157 A standard is the published work of standardization e g the selection of particularfits in DIN 7157

Part DIN 30910-2 Standards can comprise several parts associated with each other The part num-bers are appended to the main standard number with hyphens DIN 30910-2describes sintered materials for filters for example whereas Part 3 and 4 deal withsintered materials for bearings and formed parts

Supplement DIN 743Suppl 1

A supplement contains information for a standard however no additional specifi-cations The supplement DIN 743 Suppl 1 for example contains applicationexamples of load capacity calculations for shafts and axles described in DIN 743

Draft E DIN 743(2008-10)

Draft standards are made available to the public for examination and comment-ing The planned new version of DIN 743 on load-bearing calculations of shaftsand axes for example has been published since October 2008 as Draft E DIN 743

Preliminary

standard

DIN V 66304

(1991-04)

A preliminary standard contains the results of standardization which have not

been released as a standard because of certain provisos DIN V 66304 for examplediscusses a format for exchange of standard part data for computer-aided design

Issue date DIN 76-1(2004-06)

Date of publication which is made public in the DIN publication guide this is thedate at which time the standard becomes valid DIN 76-1 which sets undercutsfor metric ISO threads has been valid since June 2004 for example

Calculations with physical units are only possible if these units refer to the same base in this calculation Whensolving mathematical problems units often must be converted to basic units e g mm to m s to h mm2 to m2 Thisis done with the help of conversion factors that represent the value 1 (coherent units)

Physical quantities e g 125 mm consist of a

bull numerical value which is determined by measurement or calculation and abull unit e g m kg

Units are standardized in accordance with DIN 1301-1 (page 10)Very large or very small numerical values may be represented in a simplified wayas decimal multiples or factors with the help of prefixes e g 0004 mm = 4 microm

Notes for the user

The contents of this book include tables and formulae in

eight chapters including Tables of Contents Subject Index

and Standards Index

The tables contain the most important guidelines designs

types dimensions and standard values for their subject

areas

Units are not specified in the legends for the formulae if sev-

eral units are possible However the calculation examples

for each formula use those units normally applied in practice

The Table of Contents in the front of the book is expandedfurther at the beginning of each chapter in form of a partial

Table of Contents

The Subject Index at the end of the book (pages 435 ndash 444) is

extensive

The Standards Index (pages 425 ndash 434) lists all the current

standards and regulations cited in the book In many cases

previous standards are also listed to ease the transition from

older more familiar standards to new ones

Changes in the 3rd edition

In the present edition we have updated the cited standards

and restructured updated enhanced or added the follow-ing chapters in line with new developments in engineering

Standardization and standards terms

Standardization is the systematic achievement of uniformity of material and non-material objects such as compo-nents calculation methods process flows and services for the benefit of the general public

Types of standards and regulations (selection)

Standards term Example Explanation

Standard DIN 7157 A standard is the published work of standardization e g the selection of particularfits in DIN 7157

Part DIN 30910-2 Standards can comprise several parts associated with each other The part num-bers are appended to the main standard number with hyphens DIN 30910-2describes sintered materials for filters for example whereas Part 3 and 4 deal withsintered materials for bearings and formed parts

Supplement DIN 743Suppl 1

A supplement contains information for a standard however no additional specifi-cations The supplement DIN 743 Suppl 1 for example contains applicationexamples of load capacity calculations for shafts and axles described in DIN 743

Draft E DIN 743(2008-10)

Draft standards are made available to the public for examination and comment-ing The planned new version of DIN 743 on load-bearing calculations of shaftsand axes for example has been published since October 2008 as Draft E DIN 743

Preliminary

Standards and other Regulations

Standardization and standards terms

Standardization is the systematic achievement of uniformity of material and non-material objects such as compo-nents calculation methods process flows and services for the benefit of the general public

Types of standards and regulations (selection)

Standards term Example Explanation

Standard DIN 7157 A standard is the published work of standardization e g the selection of particularfits in DIN 7157

Part DIN 30910-2 Standards can comprise several parts associated with each other The part num-bers are appended to the main standard number with hyphens DIN 30910-2describes sintered materials for filters for example whereas Part 3 and 4 deal withsintered materials for bearings and formed parts

Supplement DIN 743Suppl 1

A supplement contains information for a standard however no additional specifi-cations The supplement DIN 743 Suppl 1 for example contains applicationexamples of load capacity calculations for shafts and axles described in DIN 743

Draft E DIN 743(2008-10)

Draft standards are made available to the public for examination and comment-ing The planned new version of DIN 743 on load-bearing calculations of shaftsand axes for example has been published since October 2008 as Draft E DIN 743

Preliminary

Calculations with physical units are only possible if these units refer to the same base in this calculation Whensolving mathematical problems units often must be converted to basic units e g mm to m s to h mm2 to m2 Thisis done with the help of conversion factors that represent the value 1 (coherent units)

Physical quantities e g 125 mm consist of a

bull numerical value which is determined by measurement or calculation and abull unit e g m kg

Units are standardized in accordance with DIN 1301-1 (page 10)Very large or very small numerical values may be represented in a simplified wayas decimal multiples or factors with the help of prefixes e g 0004 mm = 4 microm

Numerical Unitvalue

Convert volume V = 3416 mm3 to cm3

Volume V is multiplied by a conversion factor Its numerator has the unit cm3 and its denominator the unitmm3

V = 3416 mm3 =1 cm3 middot 3416 mm3

1000 mm3 =

3416 cm3

1000 = 3416 cm 3

The angle size specification a = 42deg 16rsquo is to be expressed in degrees (deg)

The partial angle 16rsquo must be converted to degrees (deg) The value is multiplied by a conversion factor thenumerator of which has the unit degree (deg) and the denominator the unit minute (rsquo)

983137 = 42deg + 16rsquo middot1deg60rsquo

= 42deg +16 middot 1deg

60 = 42deg + 0267deg = 42267deg

Standards and other Regulations

Standardization and standards terms

Standardization is the systematic achievement of uniformity of material and non-material objects such as compo-nents calculation methods process flows and services for the benefit of the general public

Types of standards and regulations (selection)

Standards term Example Explanation

Standard DIN 7157 A standard is the published work of standardization e g the selection of particularfits in DIN 7157

Part DIN 30910-2 Standards can comprise several parts associated with each other The part num-bers are appended to the main standard number with hyphens DIN 30910-2describes sintered materials for filters for example whereas Part 3 and 4 deal withsintered materials for bearings and formed parts

Supplement DIN 743Suppl 1

A supplement contains information for a standard however no additional specifi-cations The supplement DIN 743 Suppl 1 for example contains applicationexamples of load capacity calculations for shafts and axles described in DIN 743

Draft E DIN 743(2008-10)

Draft standards are made available to the public for examination and comment-ing The planned new version of DIN 743 on load-bearing calculations of shaftsand axes for example has been published since October 2008 as Draft E DIN 743

Standards and other Regulations

Standardization and standards terms

Standardization is the systematic achievement of uniformity of material and non-material objects such as compo-nents calculation methods process flows and services for the benefit of the general public

Types of standards and regulations (selection)

Standards term Example Explanation

Standard DIN 7157 A standard is the published work of standardization e g the selection of particularfits in DIN 7157

Part DIN 30910-2 Standards can comprise several parts associated with each other The part num-bers are appended to the main standard number with hyphens DIN 30910-2describes sintered materials for filters for example whereas Part 3 and 4 deal withsintered materials for bearings and formed parts

Supplement DIN 743Suppl 1

A supplement contains information for a standard however no additional specifi-cations The supplement DIN 743 Suppl 1 for example contains applicationexamples of load capacity calculations for shafts and axles described in DIN 743

Draft E DIN 743(2008-10)

Draft standards are made available to the public for examination and comment-ing The planned new version of DIN 743 on load-bearing calculations of shaftsand axes for example has been published since October 2008 as Draft E DIN 743

Preliminary

standard

DIN V 66304

(1991-04)

A preliminary standard contains the results of standardization which have not

been released as a standard because of certain provisos DIN V 66304 for examplediscusses a format for exchange of standard part data for computer-aided design

Calculations with physical units are only possible if these units refer to the same base in this calculation Whensolving mathematical problems units often must be converted to basic units e g mm to m s to h mm2 to m2 Thisis done with the help of conversion factors that represent the value 1 (coherent units)

Physical quantities e g 125 mm consist of a

bull numerical value which is determined by measurement or calculation and abull unit e g m kg

Units are standardized in accordance with DIN 1301-1 (page 10)Very large or very small numerical values may be represented in a simplified wayas decimal multiples or factors with the help of prefixes e g 0004 mm = 4 microm

Numerical Unitvalue

Convert volume V = 3416 mm3 to cm3

Volume V is multiplied by a conversion factor Its numerator has the unit cm3 and its denominator the unitmm3

V = 3416 mm3 =1 cm3 middot 3416 mm3

1000 mm3 =

3416 cm3

1000 = 3416 cm 3

The angle size specification a = 42deg 16rsquo is to be expressed in degrees (deg)

The partial angle 16rsquo must be converted to degrees (deg) The value is multiplied by a conversion factor thenumerator of which has the unit degree (deg) and the denominator the unit minute (rsquo)

983137 = 42deg + 16rsquo middot1deg60rsquo

= 42deg +16 middot 1deg

60 = 42deg + 0267deg = 42267deg

Standardization is the systematic achievement of uniformity of material and non-material objects such as compo-nents calculation methods process flows and services for the benefit of the general public

Types of standards and regulations (selection)

Standards term Example Explanation

Standard DIN 7157 A standard is the published work of standardization e g the selection of particularfits in DIN 7157

Part DIN 30910-2 Standards can comprise several parts associated with each other The part num-bers are appended to the main standard number with hyphens DIN 30910-2describes sintered materials for filters for example whereas Part 3 and 4 deal withsintered materials for bearings and formed parts

Supplement DIN 743Suppl 1

A supplement contains information for a standard however no additional specifi-cations The supplement DIN 743 Suppl 1 for example contains applicationexamples of load capacity calculations for shafts and axles described in DIN 743

Draft E DIN 743(2008-10)

Draft standards are made available to the public for examination and comment-ing The planned new version of DIN 743 on load-bearing calculations of shaftsand axes for example has been published since October 2008 as Draft E DIN 743

Calculations with physical units are only possible if these units refer to the same base in this calculation Whensolving mathematical problems units often must be converted to basic units e g mm to m s to h mm2 to m2 Thisis done with the help of conversion factors that represent the value 1 (coherent units)

Physical quantities e g 125 mm consist of a

bull numerical value which is determined by measurement or calculation and abull unit e g m kg

Units are standardized in accordance with DIN 1301-1 (page 10)Very large or very small numerical values may be represented in a simplified wayas decimal multiples or factors with the help of prefixes e g 0004 mm = 4 microm

Numerical Unitvalue

Convert volume V = 3416 mm3 to cm3

Volume V is multiplied by a conversion factor Its numerator has the unit cm3 and its denominator the unitmm3

V = 3416 mm3 =1 cm3 middot 3416 mm3

1000 mm3 =

3416 cm3

1000 = 3416 cm 3

The angle size specification a = 42deg 16rsquo is to be expressed in degrees (deg)

The partial angle 16rsquo must be converted to degrees (deg) The value is multiplied by a conversion factor thenumerator of which has the unit degree (deg) and the denominator the unit minute (rsquo)

983137 = 42deg + 16rsquo middot1deg60rsquo

= 42deg +16 middot 1deg

Calculations with physical units are only possible if these units refer to the same base in this calculation Whensolving mathematical problems units often must be converted to basic units e g mm to m s to h mm2 to m2 Thisis done with the help of conversion factors that represent the value 1 (coherent units)

Physical quantities e g 125 mm consist of a

bull numerical value which is determined by measurement or calculation and abull unit e g m kg

Units are standardized in accordance with DIN 1301-1 (page 10)Very large or very small numerical values may be represented in a simplified wayas decimal multiples or factors with the help of prefixes e g 0004 mm = 4 microm

Convert volume V = 3416 mm3 to cm3

Volume V is multiplied by a conversion factor Its numerator has the unit cm3 and its denominator the unitmm3

V = 3416 mm3 =1 cm3 middot 3416 mm3

1000 mm3 =

3416 cm3

1000 = 3416 cm 3

The angle size specification a = 42deg 16rsquo is to be expressed in degrees (deg)

The partial angle 16rsquo must be converted to degrees (deg) The value is multiplied by a conversion factor thenumerator of which has the unit degree (deg) and the denominator the unit minute (rsquo)

983137 = 42deg + 16rsquo middot1deg60rsquo

Calculations with physical units are only possible if these units refer to the same base in this calculation Whensolving mathematical problems units often must be converted to basic units e g mm to m s to h mm2 to m2 Thisis done with the help of conversion factors that represent the value 1 (coherent units)

Physical quantities e g 125 mm consist of a

bull numerical value which is determined by measurement or calculation and abull unit e g m kg

Units are standardized in accordance with DIN 1301-1 (page 10)Very large or very small numerical values may be represented in a simplified wayas decimal multiples or factors with the help of prefixes e g 0004 mm = 4 microm

Convert volume V = 3416 mm3 to cm3

Volume V is multiplied by a conversion factor Its numerator has the unit cm3 and its denominator the unitmm3

V = 3416 mm3 =1 cm3 middot 3416 mm3

1000 mm3 =

3416 cm3

1000 = 3416 cm 3

The angle size specification a = 42deg 16rsquo is to be expressed in degrees (deg)

The partial angle 16rsquo must be converted to degrees (deg) The value is multiplied by a conversion factor thenumerator of which has the unit degree (deg) and the denominator the unit minute (rsquo)

983137 = 42deg + 16rsquo middot1deg60rsquo
