Abstract
A runout gauge has a mounting block, a support block that slides horizontally relative to the mounting block, a spring that pushes the support block away from the mounting block, a roller that rotates on a horizontal axle on the support block, and a dial indicator that mounts on the mounting block. The dial indicator has a plunger that contacts the support block. A vertically adjustable stand positions gauge with the roller against the tire tread and radial runout pushes the support block which pushes the plunger. A narrow roller is used to measure lateral runout.
