Rotor Sticking: Best Practices for Quick Recovery

Our turbine rotor occasionally sticks during startup, causing delays. What are your best practices for resolving this quickly?

Check for uneven heating during startup. We had a similar issue and resolved it by adjusting our warm-up procedures.

Inspect the bearings for signs of scoring or misalignment. Sticking can often be traced back to poor bearing lubrication.

We installed startup temperature monitors. Identifying hot spots early has helped us avoid major rotor sticking.
