Hello Radhwan,

Total runout is a composite tolerance, that is applied to an entire surface, that restrains geometric variation (so this means it controls variation in straightness circularity, coaxiality, tapers, angularity and profile). You would apply this to a cylindrical or planar surface.

This is rather than (circular) runout, which controls only individual circular elements (such as tapers, shoulders etc…). To put it another way, runout control the location of a circular feature relative to its axis. Again it is a composite tolerance controlling cylindricity, and concentricity. Runout is applied to circular elements of a surface of revolution or a planar surface.

Hello to mr Karl dearn,

Thank' s for good explanation..

I try to find a extra note about this

You can found an explanation of circular runout and total runout in the attached file.

Total runout involves tolerance control along the entire length of, and between, two imaginary cylinders, not just at cross sections (runout). Total run out indicates the runout for entire surface simultaneously hence it controls cumulative variations in circularity, coaxiality, straightness, taper, angularity, and profile of a surface.

I am sorry to intrude the answering section with another question but I have an issue with the Runout tolerance too. I have attached a single page pdf for explanations. All comments are highly appreciated. 

Dear Tonu,

The datum B is the diameter of the component. When you will check the runout, you have to hold the component by this (ØB) diameter and dial gauge on the dimensional surface.

The MMC symbol at datums shows that the runout should not be more than 0.02 when your datum diameter is at its minimum value.

Answer of your second question : runout is always measured at a cross section.

Run-out is a relative feature. Run-out of a surface is referred to its axis of rotation as a datum.

Run-out indicates to what extent surfaces of rotation when being rotated around its axis will keep a constant distance with the axis; without deviation.

Run-out tolerances give the permissible deviation in the surface/axis distance of surfaces rotated about certain axis.

Run-out is measured at one section of the surface during rotation.

Total-Run-out is measured along the whole surface during rotation.

How to measure Run-out?

1- Mount the part between the two centers of a center-bed along the nominated

axis of rotation (Datum).

2- Allocate the dial gauge stylus on the section you want to measure run-out at.

3- Rotate the part around the axis of rotation; (fixation axis).

4- For zero Run-out, the reading of the DG should be zero.

5- Otherwise, the maximum reading should be less than the value of Run-out

tolerance.

How to measure Total-Run-out?

1- Do steps from 1 to 3.

2- Take the reading of the dial gauge.

3- Move the DG axially recording the readings along the surface length.

4- Maximum reading represents the Total-Run-out.
