Without the limiting factors of grease or friction, materials
are limited only by their price and performance range.
Scroller parts can be easily standardized for mass production,
so that parts can easily "mix-and-match" to create many
functions with the same tooling and production facilities.
Such modularity provides a high per unit time and cost
savings resulting in lower overall manufacturing costs.
Scroller Mechanics does not need stamping or forging in
its manufacture, therefore it requires less energy to
produce. Low friction scrolling motion requires
less energy to operate
Scroller Mechanics can be made to accommodate significant
surface irregularities without jamming, scrolling over
grit and even accepting minor imperfections in its own
geometry.

No lubrication means significantly less contaminating
grease dripping into our environment, conserving valuable
natural resources for the generations to come..
A belt can be replaced without first removing the assembly.
Therefore, wilderness or other remote sites are easy to
maintain, and spare belts are easy to store away.
