Explanation:
I would reformulate:

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

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


Explanation:
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.
