Here's a breakdown of your sentences:

1. "The device suppresses mechanical wear that occurs with the elapse of use time."

   • This is understandable, but "elapse of use time" sounds slightly awkward. "Use time" is not a common phrase in this context.

2. "The device suppresses mechanical wear that occurs with the elapse of time of use."

   • Similar to the first sentence, but "elapse of time of use" is a bit more awkward and less natural.

3. "The device suppresses mechanical wear over time with use."

   • This is natural and clear. It effectively conveys the intended meaning.

4. "The device suppresses mechanical wear over time of use."

   • This is mostly clear but slightly less smooth. "Over time of use" could be rephrased for better clarity.

Of these, sentence 3 is the most natural and clear. It effectively conveys the idea that the device reduces mechanical wear as time passes with use.
