# Industrial Specification: Wire Tensioner

## 1. Technical Definition
A device that applies and maintains precise tension on electrical wire during the winding process of transformers.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **5-200 N tension force, 0.1-2.0 mm/s wire feed rate**. Failure boundary: **Tension force exceeds 250 N causing wire yield strength breach at 350 MPa for copper wire**, Mechanism: **Plastic deformation due to exceeding material yield strength (Hooke's Law violation: σ = F/A &gt; σ_yield)**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Spring fatigue from 10^6+ cyclic loading cycles | 8 | Tension force decay below 5 N minimum threshold | Replace helical spring with Belleville washer stack for constant force characteristics |
| Capstan coefficient of friction reduction below μ=0.15 due to lubricant contamination | 8 | Wire slippage causing tension instability exceeding ±10% variance | Implement diamond-pattern knurling on capstan surface maintaining μ=0.25-0.35 |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |
