Summary
Concentricity controls the alignment of median points of a feature relative to a datum axis.
Definition
Concentricity is evaluated by comparing the median points of the toleranced feature to the datum axis, ensuring they fall within a cylindrical tolerance zone.
When to use it
Use concentricity only when the median point distribution is critical. It is rarely required in modern GD&T practice.
Examples
Example: Concentricity to datum axis
Concentricity applied to a cylindrical feature relative to a datum axis.
Common mistakes
- Using concentricity where position or runout would meet the requirement.
- Omitting a proper datum reference.
