# Industrial Specification: Carriage (Slider/Block)

## 1. Technical Definition
A precision component that moves along a linear rail, providing a low-friction interface for linear motion.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-100 m/s linear velocity, -40°C to 120°C temperature, 0.1-100 kN load capacity**. Failure boundary: **Contact pressure exceeding 2.5 GPa (Hertzian stress limit), sliding velocity exceeding 3 m/s with insufficient lubrication, temperature exceeding 150°C (polymer cage degradation)**, Mechanism: **Adhesive wear (cold welding at asperity contacts), abrasive wear (third-body particles), fatigue spalling (cyclic Hertzian contact stress exceeding 1.8 GPa), thermal degradation (polymer cage exceeding glass transition temperature)**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Contaminant ingress (ISO 4406 particle count &gt;18/15/12) | 8 | Abrasive wear of recirculating balls/rollers, increased rolling resistance &gt;15% | Integral sealing with IP67 rating, positive pressure purge system at 0.2 bar above ambient |
| Misalignment exceeding 0.05 mm/100 mm (angular error &gt;0.0005 rad) | 8 | Edge loading, localized Hertzian stress concentration &gt;3.0 GPa | Self-aligning spherical seat design, laser alignment during installation with &lt;0.01 mm tolerance |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters

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

### Q: What materials are available for linear motion carriages?
**A**: Our carriages are manufactured from either carbon steel or stainless steel, offering durability and corrosion resistance for various industrial environments.

### Q: How does the carriage maintain low-friction movement?
**A**: The carriage incorporates ball bearings or rollers within its body, creating a smooth rolling interface with the linear rail while end seals/wipers protect the internal components.

### Q: What maintenance does a linear carriage require?
**A**: Regular lubrication through the integrated fitting is recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the ball bearings/rollers and overall carriage function.
