While these belts are designed for a , they are susceptible to surface "scratches" and internal degradation that require rigorous monitoring. Understanding these wear patterns—whether minor surface abrasions or critical structural failures—is essential for building safety and maintenance. Types of Belt Wear and Scratches

Can cause fraying or cracking on just one edge of the belt. otis gen2 scratch
