# Industrial Specification: Conveyor Section

## 1. Technical Definition
A modular segment of a conveyor system that transports materials between points in an industrial process.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s belt speed, 0-1000 kg/m linear load density**. Failure boundary: **Belt tensile stress exceeding 15 MPa for PVC belts or 25 MPa for rubber belts, bearing temperature exceeding 80°C**, Mechanism: **Material fatigue from cyclic loading at stress concentrations near pulley contact points, thermal expansion mismatch between steel frame and polymer belt causing buckling at 60°C differential**.

### 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 |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Belt misalignment exceeding 5 mm from centerline due to worn tracking rollers | 8 | Edge wear progression at 0.2 mm/hour leading to belt rupture within 48 hours | Laser-guided automatic tracking system with PID control maintaining ±1 mm alignment |
| Roller bearing lubrication degradation below ISO VG 68 viscosity at 40°C | 8 | Increased friction torque from 5 Nm to 25 Nm causing motor overload trip at 150% rated current | Centralized automatic lubrication system delivering 0.5 ml/hour per bearing with viscosity monitoring |
