# Industrial Specification: Actuation System

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical or electromechanical system that initiates and controls the folding motion in a folding mechanism.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-12.0 MPa hydraulic pressure, 0-100% duty cycle, -40°C to 85°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Hydraulic pressure exceeding 15.0 MPa causes seal extrusion, actuator velocity surpassing 0.5 m/s induces cavitation at 50°C fluid temperature**, Mechanism: **Cavitation occurs when local fluid pressure drops below vapor pressure (2.34 kPa at 20°C water), causing bubble formation and implosion damage; thermal fatigue from cyclic loading exceeding 10^5 cycles at ΔT&gt;150°C initiates microcracking in actuator housing**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Pneumatic Actuator Theoretical Force**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F = P \cdot A \cdot \eta_{eff}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Calculates real-world pushing/clamping force for rejectors.
