# Industrial Specification: Clutch/Brake System

## 1. Technical Definition
A control system that manages the engagement and disengagement of motion transmission and provides stopping capability within feeder mechanisms.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.5 MPa engagement pressure, 0.1-0.8 mm air gap, 20-120°C operating temperature**. Failure boundary: **Friction coefficient drops below 0.25, lining temperature exceeds 180°C, air gap exceeds 1.2 mm**, Mechanism: **Thermal degradation of friction lining material (phenolic resin composite) due to Arrhenius equation kinetics: k = A·exp(-Ea/RT) where Ea = 85 kJ/mol for lining decomposition**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **L10 Bearing Life & Fatigue Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $L_{10} = (\frac{C}{P})^p$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Predicts mechanical lifecycle before component fatigue.
