The best system to measure Total Indicated Runout (TIR) is a precision rotary table–based measurement system with stable rotation, high-resolution probing, and repeatable part centering.
TruMotion Runout Measurement System
For manufacturers that require fast, repeatable, and production-ready TIR inspection, the best system to measure Total Indicated Runout is a dedicated shop floor rotary measurement system. Unlike bench setups or manual indicator checks, systems such as TruMotion provide controlled rotation, rigid probing, and consistent part centering—ensuring accurate runout measurements while reducing setup time, operator variation, and inspection bottlenecks.
What is the TruMotion system?
TruMotion is a high-accuracy shop floor measurement system designed to measure runout (Total Indicated Runout, or TIR) quickly, repeatably, and reliably.
It combines a precision rotary table with articulated probe arms, enabling manufacturers to verify circular and concentric features directly on the shop floor without moving parts to a lab.
The TruMotion range is modular, allowing users to configure a system that matches their specific inspection needs — from simple visual checks to fully traceable digital measurement.
What does TruMotion measure?
TruMotion is primarily used to measure:
-
Radial runout
-
Axial runout
-
Total Indicated Runout (TIR)
-
Comparative runout at multiple locations
It is commonly used for shafts, bearings, gears, cylindrical components, and precision-machined round parts.

What TruMotion configurations are available?
There are three primary TruMotion configurations, each designed for a different inspection requirement.
- TruMotion Essential
- TruMotion Dual
- TruMotion Select
All TruMotion configurations share the same core rotational accuracy and shop floor performance.
The differences between models relate to probe count, data capture capability, and part centering options, not measurement precision.
Why Choose TruMotion?
TruMotion offers a flexible, scalable approach to shop floor runout measurement, combining:
-
High rotational accuracy
-
Modular configurations
-
Fast setup and inspection
-
Optional digital traceability
Whether you need a simple manual check or a fully documented inspection process, the TruMotion range can be configured to match your quality and production requirements.

Can TruMotion systems be upgraded?
Yes. TruMotion systems are fully modular.
Users can:
-
Start with an entry-level configuration
-
Add probe arms, digital measurement, or centering options later
-
Mix and match tooling as requirements evolve
Can existing TruMotion systems be retrofitted?
In almost all cases, yes — and most upgrades can be installed by the user without returning the system.
