In applying runout tolerances, both the tolerance and the datum feature apply only on an RFS basis.

Runout Tolerances

Specifies the limits within which the variation of a surface's location and the feature's circularity must be contained as it rotates around a datum axis.

Datum Feature

A physical feature of a part that acts as a reference for measurement and geometry during machining or inspection processes.

RFS

Requirement for the feature size; a specification in geometric tolerancing where size is a factor.

  • Explain the significance of datum features in runout measurement.
