Electrical runout? What are you using?
Electrical runout? What are you using?
(OP)
Hello.
We are frequently asked to provide a mechanical and electrical runout report on rotors that come into our shop. We have made a device that works but....... because it looks (is) home made customers are skeptical about its accuracy.
So, what are others using?. Any links to portable equipment? How do you calibrate / prove the calibration? What do you use to rotate the shaft / rotor (lathe, vee blocks, between centers........)?
Thank you for your time
Ralph

Link to product information:

Residual magnetism, residual stress concentrations, precipitation hardening (pH steel), non-homogenous metallurgical composition around the circumference of a shaft, can all generate electrical runout readings.

Will pass the information on to the appropriate people.
