German term or phrase: Scheuern vs. Verschleiß
In a patent relating to a setting device and a protective cap for the device: "Eine im setzrichtungsseitigen Endbereich des Gehäuses lösbar anordbare Schutzkappe verhindert ein Scheuern des Gehäuses an baustellenbedingten Umgebungen und somit einen Verschleiß des Gehäuses."

Can anyone provide suggestions for alternative terms in EN for Scheuern and Verschleiß (both essentially meaning wear, tear, etc.)?

Thanks very much!

abrasion vs. wear
Explanation:
The wear (Verschleiß) is caused by abrasion or maybe chafing (Scheuern). As I understand your text, the protective cap is intended to prevent abrasion (and thus wear and tear).
