🔍 Key Concepts

• Radial clearance between the stator and rotor in an induction motor • Relationship between rotor rubbing/contact and bearing condition • Difference between radial clearance problems and axial misalignment

💭 Think About

• When you measure the stator-to-rotor air gap with a feeler gauge, are you checking movement side-to-side (radial) or end-to-end (axial)? • If the air gap becomes too small on one side, what is the very first mechanical problem that would occur inside the motor? • How could repeated rubbing between two solid parts inside the motor eventually affect the bearings?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option deals directly with physical contact between rotor and stator. • Separate in your mind radial clearance issues from axial alignment issues—which does the air gap measurement actually address? • Ask: which choice describes the immediate condition being monitored, not just a possible secondary effect?
