Correlative Tolerances

Runout
 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 and Total Run Out

Circular Runout Total Runout

Circular Runout Concerns Runout of each Circular element or Cross Section

Total Runout provides composite control of all surface elements

 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
 RUNOUT OF CURVED SURFACE

RUNOUT OF CURVED SURFACE

Measurements are always made normal to the curved surface

 RUNOUT OF CURVED SURFACE

RUNOUT IN SPECIFIED DIRECTION

All measurements are made in the same direction of 45O to the

axis if specified in the drawing
 TOTAL RUNOUT

Total runout 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
