Otis Gen2 Scratch Page

Polyurethane is the protective barrier for internal steel wires. Minor scratches often result from foreign objects or builder debris trapped near the sheaves during installation.

Excessively tightened bolts can cause belts to "pucker," leading to uneven and premature wear. otis gen2 scratch

If the outer cover begins to peel away (separate) from the inner carcass, complete failure may be imminent. Causes of Abnormal Wear Polyurethane is the protective barrier for internal steel

Unexpected damage or scratching is rarely "random" and often points to underlying mechanical issues. If the outer cover begins to peel away

The Otis Gen2 elevator series replaced traditional steel ropes with flat, polyurethane-coated steel belts (CSBs). 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
