What is circular runout tolerance?

Circular runout, commonly known as just ‘runout’ is a 2D measure of a circular profile in relation to a datum axis. It inspects how well a circular cross-section conforms to a perfect circle much like circularity. The tolerance zone is between the outer and inner rings on a 2D plane.

Is runout a form tolerance?

Run-out tolerance is a geometric tolerance that specifies the run-out fluctuation of a target’s feature when the target (part) is rotated on an axis (specified straight line). A datum is always necessary to indicate run-out tolerance; as such, it is a geometric tolerance for features related to datums.

How do you calculate runout tolerance?

Another method for measuring total runout is to take one gauge held perpendicular to the surface of the part, and slowly move it across the surface of the part axially as the part is rotated. If the gauge varies at any point by more than the total runout tolerance, the part would be out of spec.

What is the difference between circular runout and circularity tolerance?

Unlike circularity, circular runout requires us to specify a datum axis that the part will be rotated about. This is also a 2D callout and each cross section of the part is inspected independently, with no comparison between different cross sections.

How do you measure TIR?

TIR is expressed in total diametric deviation. Example: ±0.004 (0.10mm) deviation is defined as 0.008 (0.20mm) TIR. TIR is the total lateral distance traveled by the indicator needle resting against the O.D. of a round part, as the part is turned one full revolution.

What is circular runout in GD?

In the GD system, the circular runout symbol is an arrow. Often simply called runout, circular runout specifies how much the feature can vary in relationship to a reference point as the part is rotated around an axis.

What is TIR tolerance?

TIR is simply the difference between the maximum and minimum values measured across an entire rotating surface about a reference axis. When called out on a blueprint, TIR creates a boundary zone in which all points on the specified surface must fall between in order for the part to meet spec.

What is meant by position tolerance?

Position Tolerance (symbol: ⌖) is a geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD) location control used on engineering drawings to specify desired location, as well as allowed deviation to the position of a feature on a part.

What is a profile tolerance?

In GD, profile tolerance defines a uniform boundary around a surface within which the elements of the surface must lie. Profile is a complex tolerance that simultaneously controls a feature’s form, size, orientation, and sometimes location.

Is TIR the same as concentricity?

Concentricity is the relationship of two or more circles or circular surfaces having a common center. It is designated at TIR (total indicator reading) and is the total movement of the hand of an indicator set to record the amount that a surface varies from being concentric.

How do you calculate position tolerance?

Total acceptable Position Tolerance = Given TOL + Bonus TOL = 0.25+0.10 = 0.35. Actual Position 0.30 is less than acceptance total tolerance 0.35 therefore part is now accepted.

What is the MMC of a hole?

The chapter reviews maximum material condition (MMC). The chapter illustrates that for a shaft, MMC would be when the diameter is everywhere at its maximum size, while for a hole, MMC is when its diameter is everywhere at its minimum size.

Does profile tolerance need a datum?

It requires specifying in a note on a drawing or in some other document that basic dimensions are to be derived from the CAD model. Once again we have a profile tolerance without a datum reference. The tolerance points to a surface, and it has a circle at the knee of the arrow. That circle is the ‘all around” symbol.
