Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed toward a method for measuring a true concentricity of a rotating shaft. The method includes simultaneously measuring, with diametrically opposed position sensors, opposite sides of the rotating shaft at an initial state to acquire a first measurement data and at a 180-degree rotation to acquire a second measurement data. The method further determines a rotational centerline and a shaft centerline based on the first and second measurement data, and calculates a concentricity error of the rotating shaft based on the determined rotational centerline and the shaft centerline.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first measurement data and the second measurement data include positional measurements of the opposite sides of the rotating shaft relative to the position sensors, and the determining the rotational centerline and the shaft centerline further comprises:\n measuring a diameter of a rotational path of the shaft based on the positional measurements of the first measurement data and the second measurement data; calculating the rotational centerline based on the diameter of the rotational path; measuring a shaft diameter based on the positional measurements of one of the first measurement data or the second measurement data; and calculating the shaft centerline based on the shaft diameter.
