Runout and interpretation of the drawing

Hello good people.

I have a little question regarding this runout callout,

I only have 2 years of experience in this field of work but I have never seen this kind of callout for runout.

how should I go forward with measuring this using PCDmis 2022?

What excactly is the point of the "circle" that the arrows indicate to?
I am assuming it is for directional "guidance" but I could be terribly wrong Slight smile

All help is appreciated!

  • The little circle that the runout is pointing to, to me looks like it is simulating the bead edge / seal of a vehicle tire.

    That little circle should be defined as a basic diameter in order for that runout dimension to be remotely valid.
    Ideally you would need two indicators with probes matching that little ball diameter, and like said, you would produce two runout measurements for each edge.
    --One with an indicator/probe against the diameter of that ball's intersect, coaixal to B datum
    --And another with the indicator/probe against the flange (parallel to A datum flange)

    If you wanted to attempt this on a CMM...I would think you would need:
    A Scanning Probe and a rotary or air bearing that can chuck the wheel in place and rotate the wheel
    --then you could rotate the part 360 while scanning probe takes hits.

    Otherwise, a manual setup with custom fixturing (similar to above mentioned method) is still required.
