Abstract
A method of measuring the runout between a gauge and the axis of rotation of a wheel to which the gauge is mounted in each of two orthogonally related planes uses measurements of the angle between the axis of rotation of the wheel and the axis on which two or more angle sensors are pendulously supported at two or more rotational positions of the wheel and measurements of the angle of rotation of the wheel at each of said rotational positions to derive a runout equation which may be subsequently used to compute the runout at every possible rotational position of the wheel.
