General Tolerance Iso 2768-mk Link
In the world of precision manufacturing, specifying every single dimension with a dedicated tolerance would make technical drawings cluttered and nearly impossible to read. To solve this, engineers use general tolerance standards. The most common among these is .
If a technical drawing states "ISO 2768-mK", it means all dimensions without specific tolerances must adhere to these "medium" linear and "K" geometric specifications.

Bearing seats, press fits, and dynamic sealing surfaces typically require tolerances tighter than . For these, specific ISO fit classes (e.g., ) must be manually explicitly written on the feature. general tolerance iso 2768-mk
The purpose of general tolerances is to define the permissible deviation for dimensions that are not individually indicated on the drawing. These tolerances represent the normal manufacturing accuracy achievable by standard workshop machinery.
Applies to flatness, straightness, perpendicularity, symmetry, and circular runout.
Part 1 of the standard dictates permissible deviations for dimensions like lengths, widths, radii, and angles. The "m" (medium) class is the most widely used setting for standard CNC machining, milling, and turning operations. 1. Tolerances for Linear Dimensions In the world of precision manufacturing, specifying every
What you are using (CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal)?
Class 'K' provides general geometric limits for the form and orientation of features. It is divided into three classes: H (fine), K (medium), and L (coarse). Straightness and Flatness:
To make this standard legally binding for a project, it must be explicitly cited on the technical drawing. This is usually done inside or right next to the title block using the following text: When to Override the Standard If a technical drawing states "ISO 2768-mK", it
The designation consists of two lowercase and uppercase letters, each representing a specific tolerance class from a different part of the ISO 2768 standard:
Angular tolerances scale based on the length of the shorter leg of the angle being measured. Shorter Leg Length (mm) Permissible Deviation ±1∘plus or minus 1 raised to the composed with power ±30′plus or minus 30 prime ±20′plus or minus 20 prime ±10′plus or minus 10 prime ±5′plus or minus 5 prime 4. Geometrical Tolerances (ISO 2768-2, Class K)
Because ISO standards are universally recognized, a drawing created under ISO 2768-mK can be seamlessly manufactured by any shop worldwide without interpretation errors. 5. When to Override ISO 2768-mK
