Supporting elements between large superconducting magnets like the field coils in WENDELSTEIN 7-X have to sustain high loads while allowing a certain amount of tangential movement without any stick-slip motion. In model tests with reciprocating friction in liquid helium and vacuum a PVD-MoS2-coating has proven its suitability for these components. It showed a very stable sliding behaviour with a friction coefficient below 0.1 without coating failure under all test conditions.
