We study the solutions and bifurcations of the Jeffcott rotor with a rubbing effect. The model of horizontal rotor possesses such nonlinear effects as inertia, dry friction, and contact loss between the rotor and stator. By the exceeding of the rotor-stator radius clearance, the rotor can penetrate into the limiting rubbers with a fractional power in the restore force. The system response is analyzed by a bifurcation diagram. The specific cases are additionally clarified by means standard methods and quantified by the test 0-1 which is sensitive to chaotic behaviour.
