In the absence of tolerances specified on a customer drawing, MCE uses standard tolerances. These are listed below, along with what is the best tolerances we can hold, however, at a higher cost.

Standard MCE tolerances and best possible are as follows:

Feature

Units

Standard
Tolerance

Possible

Linear Dimension

Inches

±0.5% or ±.005,
whichever is greater.

±.000050"

Angular dimensions

Degrees

±2°

±5 minutes

Perpendicularity

Degrees

±2°

±5 minutes

Total Flux

Maxwell-Turns

±5%

±0.5%

Residual Flux Density

Gauss

±5%

±1.0%

Coercivity

Oersteds

Minimum as published

±1000 Oe

Intrinsic Coercivity

Oersteds

Minimum as published

±2000 Oe

Maximum Energy Product

MGOe

±2 MGOe of Nominal

±0.25 MGOe

As tolerances are tightened and greater demands are imposed on achieving a "perfect" part, costs begin to escalate rapidly. Good engineering practices require taking costs into consideration to produce a viable product for a particular application. Please give careful consideration as to what you really need so that we can provide a competitive product for your application.
