What is the function of the crosshead slip?

Does the crosshead slider function to reduce friction?
It ensures that the crosshead can move back and forth on the slide for a long time, functioning like a sliding bearing
The main purpose is positioning: to prevent radial movement of the piston rod and to fix the end position (thus fixing the clearance).
Prevent circumferential movement of the piston rod and fix the dead points
Convert the rotational motion of the crankshaft into reciprocating motion
It converts the rotational motion of the motor into the reciprocating motion of the piston, serving as a guide.
