# Industrial Specification: Carriage/slide block

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical component that moves along linear rails to provide precise linear motion and support for attached equipment.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-2.0 m/s linear velocity, -20°C to 80°C ambient temperature, 0.5-50 kN dynamic load capacity**. Failure boundary: **Exceeding 2.5 m/s linear velocity causes hydrodynamic lubrication breakdown, exceeding 100°C causes lubricant thermal degradation, exceeding 75 kN load causes Hertzian contact stress &gt; 1.5 GPa**, Mechanism: **Hydrodynamic lubrication failure at Reynolds number &gt; 1000, thermal expansion mismatch exceeding 50 μm/m·K differential, plastic deformation at contact stress &gt; yield strength of bearing steel (typically 1.2-1.8 GPa)**.

### 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.

- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are available for carriage/slide blocks?
**A**: Our carriage/slide blocks are manufactured in carbon steel for general applications, stainless steel for corrosive environments, and aluminum alloy for lightweight requirements.

### Q: How does the preload adjustment mechanism work?
**A**: The preload adjustment mechanism allows precise control of bearing clearance to eliminate play and optimize stiffness, ensuring smooth linear motion with minimal deflection under load.

### Q: What maintenance do carriage/slide blocks require?
**A**: With proper end seals and bearing retainers, our carriage blocks require minimal maintenance. Regular lubrication and inspection of seals are recommended for optimal performance.
