Cycle Counter
The lifetime of rotors and buckets is dependent on the amount of mechanical load. Do not exceed
the number of cycles recommended for rotors and buckets.
The maximum number of cycles is given in the rotor table in the rotor specification section.
The maximum number of cycles for buckets is marked on the buckets themselves.
