# Industrial Specification: Carrier System

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical system within a vial/syringe washer that transports containers through the cleaning process.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s linear transport speed, 0.1-0.5 bar pneumatic pressure, 5-35°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Chain elongation exceeding 2% of original length, sprocket tooth wear beyond 0.5 mm, bearing clearance exceeding 0.1 mm**, Mechanism: **Progressive plastic deformation of chain links under cyclic loading exceeding 350 MPa yield strength of AISI 304 stainless steel, following Basquin's law for high-cycle fatigue**.

### 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.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| F | Total Tractive Resistance | Engineering Constant |
| v | Belt Speed | Engineering Constant |
| \eta | Efficiency | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Misalignment exceeding 0.2 mm/m between drive and idler sprockets | 8 | Accelerated chain wear and derailment | Laser-aligned mounting fixtures with 0.05 mm tolerance and real-time alignment monitoring via capacitive sensors |
| Contaminant ingress (e.g., 0.1 mm particulate) into roller bearings | 8 | Increased friction coefficient from 0.0015 to &gt;0.005, leading to motor overload | IP67-rated sealed bearings with labyrinth seals and positive-pressure purge system at 0.15 bar above ambient |
