D9 Tolerance Chart (Hole D9)

Upper and lower deviations of hole D9 for nominal sizes 0–500 mm, per ISO 286-1. Values in mm; "+" means larger than nominal, "-" smaller. Calculate other sizes →

How to read D9

D9 is an ISO 286 tolerance class. The uppercase letter D is the fundamental deviation (which side of the nominal size the tolerance zone lies on), and the number 9 is the tolerance grade IT9 (how wide the zone is). Loose running: D9/h9 is equivalent to H9/d9: pulleys, high-speed heavily loaded plain bearings, rotating parts with noticeable play. Typical processes for IT9: ordinary turning, milling, drilling: non-critical fits, keys and keyways (h9).

On a drawing or in a specification, Ø6 D9 and 6(+0.060/+0.030) mean the same thing — the second form writes the deviations out, so nobody has to look them up. SFP product specifications always use the second form.

Alternative classes (tighter)

The tolerance zones of the classes below lie entirely inside D9 (true for every size range from 0 to 500 mm), so they also satisfy a drawing that calls for D9. Those listed first are closest to D9; price and lead time still depend on material, size and stock.

FAQ

How big is D9 exactly?

It depends on the diameter. For Ø6, D9 means the part must measure between 6.030 and 6.060 mm, written 6(+0.060/+0.030). For other diameters see the chart above; every size range is listed.

Is D9 a hole tolerance or a shaft tolerance?

Letters in uppercase denote a hole (inside diameter). In lowercase, d9 is a shaft tolerance, lying on the opposite side of the nominal size.

The drawing calls for D9 but the parts I have are D8. Can I use them?

Yes. D8 is tighter than D9: at every diameter its limits fall inside the range D9 allows. The precision is simply higher than required, so the price may be a little higher.

Tell us the tolerance on your drawing and we will match it to stock. Write the size as 8(0/-0.015) or 8h7 and e-mail it with material, length and quantity to sfp@sfp-tw.com, or check availability directly in the online catalog. Stock dowel pins come in h6 / h7 / m6 as well as minus and plus tolerance; whenever the tolerance zone of a stock part lies entirely within the acceptance range on your drawing, it can ship straight away with no wait for custom production.

Values follow ISO 286-1; the table was cross-checked cell by cell against three independent sources on 2026-08-26 (6,674 cells agree, 0 errors). Coverage: shafts a–z and the corresponding uppercase holes, IT1–IT13, nominal sizes 0–500 mm. cd/ef/fg/za/zb/zc, sizes above 500 mm and grades above IT13 are not included: the tool reports "not found" and never extrapolates.
