In particular, it was shown [27] that neutral polymer 'brushes' may lead to a great reduction in sliding friction between the surfaces to which they are attached, whereas hydrated ions can act as extremely efficient lubricants between sliding charged surfaces.

The drive system operates completely on rolling friction instead of the rolling and sliding friction of conventional low-tension spirals, so less lubrication is required.

If these can be replaced by angular contact ball bearings, manufactured to the original main dimensions in order to guarantee that the mating parts can be used further, it leads to a dramatic decrease of the frictional losses as the sliding friction of the tapered rollers against the shoulder of the cone is replaced by the rolling friction of the balls in the ultra-precise raceway.
