# Industrial Specification: Container Positioning System

## 1. Technical Definition
A precision mechanical system that accurately positions beverage containers for friction testing within an automated testing apparatus.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-2.0 mm positioning accuracy, 0-100 N clamping force, 0.5-5.0 m/s linear velocity**. Failure boundary: **Positioning error exceeds ±0.25 mm tolerance, clamping force drops below 20 N, linear velocity exceeds 6.0 m/s causing inertial overshoot**, Mechanism: **Servo motor cogging torque ripple (0.5-2.0 Nm peak-to-peak) induces positioning hysteresis; ball screw thermal expansion (11.7 μm/m·°C coefficient) creates positional drift; pneumatic cylinder stiction (Stribeck effect) at 0.1-0.3 m/s causes stick-slip motion**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Frame Structural Deflection Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\delta = \frac{5 q L^4}{384 E I}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Ensures structural stability for multi-stage machines.
