bearing friction
I would reformulate:
The bearing friction between ... and ... is adjusted by the clamping action of the cylinder head screw.

better:
The bearing friction (between ... and ...) for height setting is primarely adjusted by the clamping action of the cylinder head screw.

base/basic bearing (support) friction
a friction that is constantly present

Translation proposal: The cheese head screw sets a vertical adjustment base friction thus/thereby improving handling characteristics and preventing the inadvertent lowering of the upper "assy" when releasing the locking lever.
Or does this sound too German?

sliding resistance of the mount
admittedly a somewhat free translation, but under the circumstances closer (IMO) to what you're likely to see in English
What the users experiences (and cares about) is the resistance to undesired motion, not how this is achieved.
