Anyone have experience with electric motor rotor sag calculations?
i know of several 1750 hp pump motors that have remained idle for 5+ years without any rotation. will be replacing bearings and checking for any rotor deflection, but am curious about sag calcs. i've read documentation before, but how time passes... thanks!
