Concentricity and runout

Hi So I got this part where an ID is datum A (measured as circle)
then i have an OD (also circle) which i evaluate runout and concentricity on.
The runout deviation of the OD is about 0.01mm but the concentricity deviation is around 0.07mm

How can this be?
Correct me if I'm wrong but i know both runout and concentricity is how an object deviates from a perfect circular shape or position.
so runout basically measures the wobble when rotating to an axis (so circularity and position)

And concentricity is how closely the object and the datums axis are aligned to each other (so circularity isn't involved)

How can the concentricity deviation be so much higher than the runout?

Ty all for the gdpt tips!

  • If "Datum A" is really just a 2D circle, maybe that has something to do with the axes of this circles.
    in this case, Its axis shouldn't actually be included in the calculation.
    What I'm trying to saying is that you should specify a reference vector that is not defined by the circle "A" vector.

    In other words: test if a plane "B" affects the result if you calculate the concentricity by B|A​,
    something like that
