What is shaft runout tolerance?

Typically, the maximum allowable amount for runout is 0.002″ (2 mils or thou). In the case of a higher RPM machine (more than 3600 RPM), a tolerance of 0.001″ (1 mil or thou) should be used. Although some people have thought that checking runout is a waste of time, it certainly is not.

How much runout is acceptable on a drive shaft?

If you have too high run-out (bent tube), your driveshaft will not balance without welding excessive weight on one side. Dynotech recommends tube run-outs at 0.020 inch or less over the entire length of the tube.

What is the standard straightness tolerance for shafts?

An industry standard basic rule-of-thumb shaft straightness tolerance is .001 in/ft (.083 mm/m) of length for general purpose rotating equipment. In other applications, such as high-speed multi-stage pump shafting for example, the straightness required could be as little as .0005 in (.013 mm) at any point along the length of the shaft.

What is straightness tolerance in GD?

Straightness Tolerance : GD Basics. Straightness is a type of foam control tolerance in GD. It controls a condition where all element of a surface or an axis lies in a straight line. Datum plane is not required to define straightness. LMC and MMC modifiers can be used to define straightness of an axis.

How wide is the tolerance zone for straightness?

The entire tolerance zone is 0.3 wide, but any given 10 mm or 10 inch length has a tolerance zone 0.1 wide. Now let’s look at applying straightness to a feature of size. Prior to the 2009 ASME standard, straightness could be applied to any feature of size.

What is feature control frame in surface straightness?

In surface straightness, feature control frame is placed on the surface where control in required. This indicates the tolerance zone on the surface within which line element of the feature must lie. See below image for visualization of tolerance zone on the surface. In this image tolerance zone is the two parallel lines of 0.3mm apart.
