Robotics: How Shaft Tolerances are Defined

CCTY

The Role Shaft Tolerances in Precise Motion Control

In robotics, shaft tolerances play a critical role in achieving smooth, precise motion — but how are they defined and controlled?

In this video, we explore how engineers determine shaft fit, clearance, and interference levels to ensure reliable performance in robotic joints and assemblies. Whether you’re designing articulated robots or compact motion systems, understanding shaft tolerances is key to building reliable, long-lasting movement.
