The vibration of a rotor rubbing a stator caused by an initial perturbation was studied analytically.The analytical model consists of a simple disc shaft rotor and a fixed stator. The perturbation is aninstantaneous change of the radial velocity when the rotor is operating in its normal steady state. The analysisshowed that the rotor may continue rubbing the stator for small clearance, even if the initial perturbation nolonger exists. For the interest of engineering applications, we investigated various rotating speeds,perturbation amplitudes and clearances between the rotor and the stator. Various friction coefficients on thecontact surface were also considered. The graphical results can be used for the design of rotating machines.``
