Runout - Axial vs Radial

I have a part that is constantly out of tolerance on radial runout. My datum is a cylinder and my runout feature is a circle. When I change runout from from radial to axial, it’s now within tolerance.

I looked up radial runout and axial runout and the difference is radial is how far off a feature is off the datum axis but still parallel and axial is how much of a tilt the feature has to the datum axis. Which one should I use and why and I out of tolerance with only one and not both?

  • What exactly does the print say?

    Are we talking circular runout vs total runout here? They are very similar to each-other..you measure them both the exact same way & collect the same data.. the way the final result is calculated is different depending on which one the print requires Sunglasses
