runout
Supply hits zero
Runout is the deviation from true rotation—the wobble or eccentricity when a shaft, wheel, or disc spins.
Machinists measure runout to ensure parts are properly centered: The brake rotor had excessive runout, causing vibration.
In manufacturing, runout also refers to the depletion of inventory or materials before a production changeover.
