Abstract
A method for measuring eccentricity uses two radial gratings, in annular areas of which elementary patterns are provided at equal intervals so that the patterns of one radial grating are opposite to those of the other radial grating rotated by 180.degree.. Reference lines are provided on a rotary axis having eccentricity to be measured, coordinate axes relative to a bisector of the patterns opposite to each other are provided parallel with the reference lines, and spaces between the coordinate axes and the reference lines are measured, thereby allowing the shift of the rotary axis to be found. Thus, the eccentricity of the rotary axis can be measured with high accuracy.
