How can I translate "Azote" in this context please? It appears as whipping but I can't imaging a machine belt whipping
This is the text: Las correas trapezoidales deben estar tensadas convenientemente, para evitar un deslizamiento excesivo o el azote de las mismas.
Thanks for any help.

Here's another usage example: "Avoid belt slippage or whipping. Belts squealing during operation is an indication of slippage, and belt tension must be checked."

If you think that sounds too BDSM, you might use a synonym like "flapping"…

I'd omit "by them" (V-belts must be correctly adjusted to prevent excessive slipping or whipping)... as it's pretty obvious it's the belts that are flapping/whipping.

Example sentence:
For example, excessive friction results if the belt is tensioned too tightly, and slippage or whipping results if the belt is tensioned too loosely.
Note from asker:
| Thanks very much Neilmac, it just sounds very strange for "whipping" to occur on a machine belt!!! |
| So the following translation is correct? V-belts must be correctly adjusted to prevent excessive slipping or whipping by them. |
| Excellent Neilmac, thanks again for your answer. |
