A device for checking run-out in elongated generally cylindrical shaft elements and for sorting those shafts which have more than a predetermined acceptable amount of run-out from the others as they are individually checked. The device comprises shaft support members which establish a rolling plane; contact elements coextensive with the support members, spaced below the rolling plane a distance equal to the amount of allowable run-out; sensing means for sensing shaft contact with the contact element; and, separator means for separating those shafts making contact from those which do not. In operation, a shaft is rolled down the rolling plane toward a first staging area. If, during this rolling travel, the shaft contacts the contact element, it is diverted to a second staging area, remote from the first staging area, for salvage or scrap processing.
