Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / wind turbines | | French term or phrase: contact ponctuel | Good morning,
Très favorablement, lesdites au moins trois rangées d’éléments roulants échelonnées le long dudit axe de rotation du palier comprendront, entre deux rangées extrêmes, au moins une rangée intermédiaire d’éléments roulants aptes à être en mouvement le long de pistes des première et seconde bagues de roulement, suivant des contacts ponctuels.
I found "contact on one point" see link below

but I need confirmation from those in the know :)

"Wind turbines have been used in one form or another for the last 7000 years. Versions ... The entire nacelle pivots to maintain point contact with the shifting wind."

"Dust particles trapped between the gear teeth at the pitch line were causing the entire load to be transferred at a point contact instead of across the entire width of the gear tooth as the gear teeth meshed, resulting in contact fatigue failures at the pitch line."
Loads of references are available for e.g. four-point contact bearings.

I suggest "along point contacts", your suggestion "according to point contact" is not grammatical English. |
