@ Asker Yes, but by its nature, and idler pulley is probably not liable to 'stripping' — I suspect it probably means that the defective idler pulley strips the belt, which would make a lot more sense.
alex.saviano (asker) Nov 30, 2022:
It's an idler pulley, apparently @Tony M

délamination/effilochage
Tony M Nov 30, 2022:
@ Asker Impossible to tell without more proper context.
It usually means something that gets removed that shouldn't, like threads stripping on a bolt due to misuse, etc.
But you can't tell what it is, unless we know WHAT the component is that is getting stripped?

Effilage, effilochage, fissuration

Generally speaking,
It's usual to use this word when talking about the screw of the pulley. Sometimes pulley are used to add tension on the belt. It is adjusted by a screw which can be stripped due to multiple reason.

In your case we can also adapt the word, if we are talking about the belt. And yes the belt can be stripped.
The correct translation for stripping might be effilage, effilochage.

A less common word which can be used is fissuration since we are talking about failure mode.

Hope it will help

déchirure / effilochage / éraflage

If it's about the belt, I would go for "déchirure" or "effilochage".
If it refers to a harder piece, like a pulley, maybe "éraflage"? (not "éraflure" in this context).
Take it as a guess more than anything else... Good luck!
