Amazing what a rubber belt can do to steel. The one on the right has probably spun around roughly 2 billion+ times (no bs) while driving a belt under pressure. The belt has probably been changed at least 10 times with this amount of wear showing and everyone before me decided to just keep letting it roll. I couldn’t overlook it. Have a good weekend!

I once saw a GT3 timing gear worn almost identically to that one! Pulled it off a 3D Systems multi-jet printer with 23,000 running hours or so.

Nice. This is from a large document sorting device. Moves at 28000 docs an hour. It’s a beast.

This seems kinda like the way rubber and urethane seals in hydraulic components can wear out steel sealing surfaces with time and use.

With enough pressure and repetition anything is possible. Seeing things like this for a living always make me even more amazed that the average car with all its moving parts just works day in and day out and the fact that we have the nerve to complain when they don’t. And then there my Promaster.. It breaks frequently enough to remind me! I’d link all the its broke articles but it would break kinja.
