# Industrial Specification: Actuator

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical device that converts energy into motion to perform a specific action within a system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-20 bar hydraulic pressure, -40°C to 120°C ambient temperature, 4-20 mA control signal**. Failure boundary: **Hydraulic pressure exceeding 25 bar causes seal extrusion, temperatures above 150°C degrade elastomer seals, control signals beyond 24 mA saturate position feedback**, Mechanism: **Seal extrusion occurs when hydraulic pressure exceeds the yield strength of seal material (typically 25 MPa for HNBR), thermal degradation follows Arrhenius equation with activation energy of 80 kJ/mol for EPDM seals**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Harmonic Vibration Force Generation**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_e = m \cdot r \cdot \omega^2 \sin(\omega t)$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Calculates centrifugal force for vibratory sifters/feeders.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
