# Industrial Specification: Actuator/Handle

## 1. Technical Definition
Manual or mechanical control interface for operating the valve in an outlet port system

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-25 Nm torque, 0-100% stroke position, -40°C to 120°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **35 Nm torque (yield strength of 316L stainless steel at 120°C), 150°C polymer seal degradation temperature, 10⁷ cycles for fatigue failure at 20 Nm**, Mechanism: **Fatigue fracture at stress concentrators (notch factor Kt=2.8) in handle pivot pin due to cyclic loading exceeding 20 Nm, thermal degradation of PTFE seals above 150°C causing leakage, galling of stainless steel threads at &gt;25 Nm torque with aluminum housing (coefficient of friction μ=0.35)**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Corrosive fluid ingress (pH&lt;4 or &gt;10) into handle mechanism | 8 | Galvanic corrosion between 316L stainless steel handle (E=-0.05V) and aluminum housing (E=-0.75V) causing seizure | Cathodic isolation using PEEK insulating washers (dielectric strength 19 kV/mm), hermetic sealing with FKM O-rings (compression set &lt;10% at 150°C) |
| Over-torque application exceeding 35 Nm yield strength | 8 | Plastic deformation of handle shaft (316L SS, σ_y=205 MPa at 20°C) causing permanent misalignment | Torque-limiting shear pin design (shear strength τ=145 MPa, fails at 30 Nm), visual torque indicator with permanent deformation markers |
