Chinese term or phrase: 本发明涉及一种润滑系统，包括一对相对可移动的，至少之一涂有DLC的面对面DLC接触表面，该系统的接触表面之间的摩擦进一步减少并稳定保持这种低摩擦性。
I have the following translation for this sentence:

"The present invention relates to a lubrication system, comprising a pair of relatively movable, at least one DLC coated face-to-face DLC contact surface, with a further reduced friction between the contact surfaces of the system and keeping a stable retention of such low friction."

I'm sure there is a word missing in the part of the sentence saying - ...comprising a pair of relatively movabable,....

I do not understand what is movable here?

Thank you for your help in advance!

English translation:contact surfaces
Explanation:
Syntactically, in the origin text, the "relatively movable" modifies the pair of "contact surfaces"

For this part "comprising a pair of relatively movable, at least one DLC coated face-to-face DLC contact surface"
I would rephrase it as "including a pair of relatively movable contact surfaces, at least one of which is a face-to-face DLC contact surface coated with DLC"
