# Industrial Specification: Belt Tracking System

## 1. Technical Definition
A system that automatically maintains proper belt alignment on conveyor pulleys to prevent belt drift, edge damage, and material spillage.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 mm lateral displacement from pulley centerline**. Failure boundary: **3.5 mm lateral displacement causing belt edge contact with conveyor frame**, Mechanism: **Centrifugal force imbalance exceeding belt tensile strength at 15 m/s linear velocity, following F = mω²r where ω = 2πN/60**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Tractive Power & Resistance Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = \frac{F \cdot v}{\eta}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Ensures motor torque capacity exceeds operational inertia.
