The linear (versus angular) portion of off-axis error. It is the deviation between ideal straight line motion and actual measured motion in a translation stage. Runout has two orthogonal components, straightness, a measure of in-plane deviation, and flatness, the out-of-plane deviation.
the distance between two points of protection
The distance between the leader and the last runner.
The deviation from the desired surface or line in relation to the axis during one complete revolution.
distance between two points of protection; the distance between a lead climber and the last piece of protection; the fall distance allowed by the distance from the last piece of protection
The permissible perpendicular variation of relationship between the bearing surface or the top surface and the axis of the thread (A.k.a. TIR or perpendicularity).
The distance between a climber and his or her last piece of protection. A long runout equates to a long fall. In alpine climbing, it's the area below a climbing route onto which a climber would land if he or she were to fall. Look for a safe runout on a snow slope before glissading.
The distance between two pieces of protection on a route. Also, when this distance becomes uncomfortably long, a climb is said to be runout. Many of the slabby face climbs in Yosemite only have one or two bolts per pitch, making them extremely runout (and daunting).
The distance between a climber and their last piece of protection. The longer the runout, the bigger the fall.
an exceptionally long distance between pieces of protection on a route
(Grain slope) Grain deviation across a board. Measured as a ratio of cross distance to length, such as 1 inch in 12 inches.
A measurement taken to check concentricity of a valve seat or squareness of a camshaft drive gear. To check a valve seat, a special instrument which rides in the valve guide is installed and zeroed with its stem resting against the valve seat. It is rotated 360 and the highest measurement recorded to determine seat runout. To check a camshaft drive gear, a dial indicator is mounted along the axis of the camshaft with its stem resting against the outer edge of the gear. The indicator is then zeroed, the camshaft rotated 360 and the highest measurement recorded to determine runout.
Without adequate protection.
An uncomfortably long and often dangerous distance between two points of protection.
Gyration, or twice the radial distance between the shaft axis and axis of rotation. May be accompanied by the abbreviation "TIR" which is total indicator reading, or expressed in inches.
