To protect the rotor of a motor disassembled for maintenance or overhaul, what should be done?

🔍 Key Concepts

• How the weight of the rotor is best distributed to avoid bending the shaft • Why long, heavy cylindrical parts can sag or warp if not properly supported • Typical shop practice for storing shafts, rotors, and cylinders during overhaul

💭 Think About

• Which option keeps the shaft from bending or sagging in the middle over time? • Which storage method spreads the load evenly along the rotor instead of concentrating it at one end or one small point? • Which choice sounds like a deliberate support arrangement rather than just a convenient place to put it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any option where the rotor hangs by a small area or is supported at only one end • Think about how you would store a long precision shaft so it stays straight over days or weeks • Look for the method that clearly provides stable, distributed support along the rotor/shaft
