Japanese term or phrase: フリクッションロス

フリクッションロスの低減

Not sure how to write this out in English... ______ loss is what I'm guessing.

I found various sites on Google with this term, but none that give English. (See Google search below)

English translation:Friction Loss
Explanation:
This is a typo -- the little "tsu" is misplaced. The original should be 「フリックション・ロス」 or just 「フリクション・ロス」.
They're talking about reducing the amount of energy that is lost or wasted by friction. The smoother the movement, the more efficient the machine.
