sliding contact; sliding motion
Technical term used in mechanical engineering and tribology for motion where two surfaces remain in continuous contact while sliding. Often appears in compound terms like 摺動部 (sliding part) or 摺動面 (sliding surface).
The sliding parts of this machine require regular lubrication.
We selected appropriate materials to prevent wear on the sliding surfaces.
Compound of 摺 (to rub, to slide) and 動 (motion). A technical coinage for sliding contact in mechanical contexts.
