You might check with the OEM.
Here is a GE document regarding long-term motor storage http://www.geindustrial.com.br...s/ingles/geep395.pdf
I don't think the babbit itself would rust, but other components of the bearing may rust. And there are other reasons for periodic rotation including preventing shaft bow of long shafts. |

The babbit can't rust (no iron content) but many of the bearing shells are cast iron and can rust over time. The shaft journal can definitely rust and that would be a major concern, along with shaft bow, as Pete mentioned.
