Runout - Circle to Plane


Recommended Posts

328_56f11b878cdb3d9184113f352cfddf56.png
For this simplified example - Runout of the Bore to Datum B (plane)

My first thought is: DRF is incomplete. It needs a diametric "center point", to rotate around.
My second thought is: If I measure the entire Bore, then I could report Perpendicularity of the Bore to datum B.

Any other thoughts/ideas?

The way that it is drawn is incorrect. It isn't Radial Runout because the Datum is Perpendicular not Coaxial, and it isn't Axial Runout because the feature isn't a Plane it is a Cylinder.

It could be Axial Runout if you flipped the Datum and feature. Either they meant two things, Perpendicularity, or Radial Runout and they forgot the Coaxial Datum.

Engineers are experts in GD&T .. boy how I wish that were true.

In my experience the majority of issues that are caused in manufacturing is due to that statement not being true.

I can't believe how many times an engineer has told me when speaking of profile of 0.010 to A B C that "Oh thats the same as plus or minus 0.010" - Not even plus or minus 0.005 but plus or minus 0.010 mind you (thats not even considering the relationship to datums being completely disregarded by the engineer).

In my opinion most engineers are far more focused on the function of the part and see issues with definitions on drawings as being the last thing they are concerned about. Due to that drawings end up being created with incorrect call outs, and then when you speak to the engineer they just say "Well of course that is not what I meant".

There is a big difference between an engineer understanding the considerations necessary to make a functional product and a correctly drawn print.

Oh and as to the original question, I think it should have been true position and then had the roundness callout. True position would control the axis of the part perpendicular to the face which seem like the actual intent of the call out shown.
