Concerns With Tolerance Stackups
A safety factor is often included in designs because of concerns about:
- Operational temperature and pressure of the parts or assembly.
- Wear.
- Deflection of components after assembly.
- The possibility or probability that the parts are slightly out of specification (but passed inspection).
- The sensitivity or importance of the stack (what happens if the design conditions are not met).

Famous quotes containing the words concerns and/or tolerance:
“Science asks no questions about the ontological pedigree or a priori character of a theory, but is content to judge it by its performance; and it is thus that a knowledge of nature, having all the certainty which the senses are competent to inspire, has been attained—a knowledge which maintains a strict neutrality toward all philosophical systems and concerns itself not with the genesis or a priori grounds of ideas.”
—Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)
“Nothing is as difficult as to achieve results in this world if one is filled full of great tolerance and the milk of human kindness. The person who achieves must generally be a one-ideaed individual, concentrated entirely on that one idea, and ruthless in his aspect toward other men and other ideas.”
—Corinne Roosevelt Robinson (1861–1933)
