# Industrial Specification: Precision Polishing Spindle

## 1. Technical Definition
High-precision rotating spindle that holds and positions hard drive platters during polishing operations

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-0.5 μm radial runout at 8000-12000 RPM, 20-25°C operating temperature, 0.5-1.0 μm axial play**. Failure boundary: **Radial runout exceeding 1.0 μm causes polishing non-uniformity &gt;5% thickness variation; Bearing temperature &gt;80°C initiates lubricant breakdown; Axial play &gt;2.0 μm induces platter wobble**, Mechanism: **Angular contact bearing preload loss due to thermal expansion mismatch between ceramic balls (α=7.2×10⁻⁶/K) and steel races (α=11.0×10⁻⁶/K) at ΔT&gt;60K; Hydrodynamic lubrication failure at Sommerfeld number &lt;0.001**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **L10 Bearing Life & Fatigue Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $L_{10} = (\frac{C}{P})^p$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Predicts mechanical lifecycle before component fatigue.
