When is Sliding friction harmful?

Sliding friction can be harmful when it causes wear and tear on surfaces, leading to damage or failure of machinery or equipment. Excessive sliding friction can also generate heat, which may cause overheating and eventual breakdown of components. Additionally, sliding friction can reduce the efficiency and performance of moving parts, leading to increased energy consumption and decreased effectiveness of systems.
