Correlative Tolerances Runout

Runout is the deviation in position of a surface of revolution as a part is revolved about a datum axis.

A run out tolerance represents the maximum permissible variation of position of a surface, measured at a fixed point, when the part is revolved without axial movement through 360 about the datum axis. The tolerance zone is the area or space, of uniform thickness, between two shapes coaxial with the datum axis and parallel to the true profile of the controlled surface. The runout variation is measured normal to the surface being controlled by contacting the surface with an indicator gage while the part is revolved on it datum axis

The runout error is the full movement of the indicator

CIRCULAR RUNOUT OF CYLINDRICAL FEATURES

Circular Runout is measured at Several positions along the surface At each position the indicator movement during one revolution of part must not exceed the specified tolerance(0.1mm) For Cylindrical feature runout error is caused by eccentricity and errors of roundness Circular Runout is not affected by a taper(conicity) or errors of Straightness of the straight line elements such as barrel shaping

ANGULAR RUNOUT AND TOLERANCE ZONE

Circular Runout may be applied to surface of revolution which are any desired angle in the relation to the datum axis Measurements are made at each cross-section of the complete profile. Indicator to be normal to the surface of measurement

RUNOUT PERPENDICULAR TO AXIS

Error will be shown if the surface is not flat but not perpendicular

to axis (wobbling)
No Error be indicated if the surface convex or concave but otherwise perfect

TOLERANCE ZONE FOR TOTAL RUNOUT

Total run out concerns the runout of a complete surface, not merely the runout of each circular element. For measurement purposes the checking indicator must traverse the full length or extent of the surface while the part is revolved about its datum axis Measurements are made over the whole surface without resetting the indicator. Total runout is the difference between the lowest indicator reading in any position, and the highest reading in that or in any other position on the same surface.

MEASURING TOTAL RUNOUT ON CONICAL PART

For conical surfaces the datum axis can be tilted to the taper angle so that the measured surface becomes parallel to a surface plate
