ISO 286 · clearance fit · IT9
d9 shaft tolerance
The d9 limits we cut to at every common nominal, computed from the ISO 286 fundamental deviation for d and the IT9 grade. Same numbers the configurator stamps on a d9 diameter.
d9 is a clearance class: the whole band sits below nominal, so the shaft always has room in a nominal-size bore. The letter d fixes where the band sits relative to nominal (the fundamental deviation); the grade 9 fixes how wide it is (IT9). Both come from the ISO 286 tables and scale with diameter, which is why one page per class, with every nominal, is more useful than a single number.
At a 1″ nominal the d9 band is -.0026 to -.0046: the shaft measures between 0.9954″ and 0.9974″, a 0.002″ window. The table gives the same limits at the inch and metric nominals we turn most.
Pick d9 on any diameter in the configurator and the drawing carries exactly these limits; the engine computes them from the standard for the diameter you enter, not from this table.

Clearance fit, by the numbers
Every d9 limit is at or below nominal, so against a nominal (H-basis) bore the minimum gap is 0.0026″ and the maximum is set by the bore's own tolerance plus 0.0046″ at 1″. Tighter grades narrow the shaft's share of that range.
