# Industrial Specification: Carriage Slide/Rails

## 1. Technical Definition
Linear guidance system that enables smooth horizontal movement of the carriage along the ripper beam.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-2.0 m/s linear velocity, 0.01-0.05 mm/m straightness tolerance, -20°C to 80°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Exceeding 0.1 mm/m straightness deviation, surpassing 2.5 m/s linear velocity, or operating below -30°C or above 100°C**, Mechanism: **Hertzian contact stress exceeding 1500 MPa at ball/rail interface causes plastic deformation; thermal expansion mismatch (steel rail α=11.5×10⁻⁶/K vs aluminum carriage α=23×10⁻⁶/K) induces binding at ΔT&gt;60K**.

### 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.

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are carriage slides typically made from?
**A**: Carriage slides are commonly manufactured from hardened steel for durability, stainless steel for corrosion resistance, or alloy steel for high-strength applications in machinery.

### Q: What is the purpose of wear strips on carriage slides?
**A**: Wear strips are optional components that reduce friction between the carriage and rail, extending service life and maintaining smooth horizontal movement along the ripper beam.

### Q: How do I select the right carriage slide for my machinery?
**A**: Consider load capacity, environmental conditions (corrosion, temperature), required precision, and compatibility with your ripper beam system. Material choice (hardened, stainless, or alloy steel) depends on these factors.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
- ISO 286-2:2010 (GEOMETRICAL PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS - LIMITS AND FITS)
- ANSI B4.1-1967 (PREFERRED LIMITS AND FITS FOR CYLINDRICAL PARTS)
