Spanish term or phrase: Superficies de Rodadura

This refers to certain parts of various mechanical devices such as a stator, a rotor, pump, motor, etc. They are for marine use, but I don't think that is important here. Some of the possibilities I have come across so far include: running surfaces, roller surfaces, tread surfaces, and also road surfaces, which I find very unlikely. Thanks for your help, people. This one has been going around for a bit, and no one here has nailed it down yet.

Notes to answerer

Asker: This is talking about (I believe) either the interior working parts of the machines (like clockwork, with gears and wheels) or sealing surfaces that allow pressure to be built up. Definitely metal parts.

bearing surfaces

Explanation:
It may refer to surfaces in bearings in the machinery, but the CONTEXT here is much too vague to determine that, so I just leave it you you as a possibility you can ponder.

Notes to answerer

Asker: I agree, sometimes it may be used for bearing surfaces, but it is too vague to know for sure.

Asker: You are probably right, but I can't be sure they are for bearings in all cases - so I am going with a more generic term. Thanks.
