relative sliding motion between rotating and stationary components in a machine. The term emphasises the continuous friction aspect of <a href=\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/ta\/glossary\/rotor-rub\/\">rotor-to-stator contact<\/a>, distinguishing it from the light, intermittent contact or single impacts that may also occur. Rubbing generates friction forces, releases significant heat through friction work, and produces a distinctive <a href=\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/ta\/glossary\/vibration\/\">vibration<\/a> signature dominated by backward whirl, <a href=\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/ta\/glossary\/sub-synchronous\/\">sub-synchronous<\/a> components and thermal effects. It is one of the most dangerous faults a rotating machine can develop, because it can escalate to failure within minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rubbing&#8221; and &#8220;rotor rub&#8221; are often used interchangeably. In practice, rubbing tends to stress the friction and thermal side of the contact, while rotor rub is the broader umbrella covering every form of contact \u2014 from light scraping to hard impacts.<\/p>\n<h2>1. The Friction Mechanics of Rubbing<\/h2>\n<h3>Coulomb Friction Model<\/h3>\n<p>Rubbing obeys the principles of dry (Coulomb) friction:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Friction force:<\/strong> F = \u03bc \u00d7 N, where \u03bc is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force pressing the surfaces together.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Direction:<\/strong> the friction force always opposes the relative motion between the contacting surfaces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Typical coefficients:<\/strong> steel on steel \u03bc \u2248 0.3\u20130.5; steel on seal material \u03bc \u2248 0.2\u20130.4.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heat generation:<\/strong> essentially all of the friction work is converted to heat at the contact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tangential and Normal Forces<\/h3>\n<p>During contact, two force components act on the rotor:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Normal force:<\/strong> pushes radially inward on the rotor at the rub point.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Friction force:<\/strong> acts tangentially, opposing rotation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resultant force:<\/strong> the combination tends to slow the rotor and deflect it backward, against the direction of spin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Torque increase:<\/strong> the friction dissipates power, raising the drive torque the machine must supply.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Characteristic Vibration Patterns<\/h2>\n<h3>Backward Whirl<\/h3>\n<p>The single most distinctive feature of rubbing is backward (reverse) <a href=\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/ta\/glossary\/whirl\/\">whirl<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The friction force creates a tangential component that drives the orbital motion backward.<\/li>\n<li>The shaft <a href=\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/ta\/glossary\/orbit\/\">orbit<\/a> traces opposite to the direction of shaft rotation.<\/li>\n<li>The whirl frequency is typically sub-synchronous \u2014 less than 1\u00d7 running speed.<\/li>\n<li>Common frequencies appear at fractional orders: 0.5\u00d7, 0.33\u00d7, 0.25\u00d7.<\/li>\n<li>The orbit shape is often irregular or visibly distorted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Spectrum Characteristics<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sub-synchronous peaks:<\/strong> multiple peaks below 1\u00d7, frequently at fractional harmonics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Synchronous component:<\/strong> the 1\u00d7 <a href=\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/ta\/glossary\/synchronous-vibration\/\">synchronous<\/a> peak may rise as rub forces add to it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Higher harmonics:<\/strong> 2\u00d7, 3\u00d7, 4\u00d7 <a href=\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/ta\/glossary\/harmonics\/\">harmonics<\/a> appear from the non-linearity of intermittent friction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u0baa\u0bb0\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bc6\u0ba3\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd:<\/strong> the noise floor across the whole <a href=\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/ta\/glossary\/spectrum\/\">spectrum<\/a> lifts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unstable spectrum:<\/strong> peaks come and go or shift frequency from one measurement to the next.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Time Waveform Features<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Impulsive events or spikes each time contact initiates, visible in the <a href=\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/ta\/glossary\/time-waveform\/\">time waveform<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Clipping or flattening at the peak deflections, where the stator physically limits travel.<\/li>\n<li>An irregular, non-sinusoidal overall shape.<\/li>\n<li>Beat patterns produced by several frequencies coexisting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3.
