    Whether to apply GD&T Concentricity or Cylindricity

    I have a confusion in my main drive shaft drawing whether to apply the cylindricity or total runout or runout or concentricity

    Which dimensioning and tolerancing standard you work under?

    What is the application of the part and functional relationship of the features requiring the tolerance specification?
    Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

    It is driven shaft which is mounted on casting. The parts which gets mounted on the shaft are bearing , bushing , gear, roller.

    There are basically four qualities that might be controlled. Tell us which of these are important to the function, and whether they are to be held to the same tolerance. (Or perhaps one of these should be tighter?)...

    -- size (diameter)
    -- form (roundness)
    -- orientation (angle)
    -- location (centeredness)

    For parts that rotate you often want to use circular runout, but your answer about which of these 4 are important may steer you to a different symbol.
    Also, as Kelly mentioned, it is important to know if you are using the ISO standard for tolerancing, or the ASME standard for tolerancing.
