A dust restrictor is provided for eliminating dust and dirt accumulation between surfaces. The dust restrictor includes at least one dust restricting element and an attachment means. The dust restricting element is disposed in a dust accumulating area of an arrangement. The attachment means is provided for fixing each of the dust restricting elements to the dust accumulating area. The dust restrictor can minimize an accumulation of debris, reduce the down time of a machine due to debris accumulation, and also increase life of bearing and motors operating a machine.
