Does any body know the answers ? What are forces of magnetic centering of motor rotors on sleeve bearing machines. If the rotor were off center by as much as 1/4" how much force would there be trying to correct this.
We have 8000hp 4160v motor and the DE bearing is fixed position (only .016"axial clearance) The motor has failed the thrust face of the radial bearing (Renk). We are told by the manufacturer that the extruder can not apply any thrust to the motor.
