An instrument designed to measure eccentricity or deviation from a true center or circular path.
From 'eccentric' + Greek 'metron' (measure). The compound term describes a precision instrument used in engineering and mechanics.
Machinists use eccentrometers to check whether wheels, pulleys, and shafts are truly centered or wobbling—it's precision measurement for making sure engines run smoothly!
