# Industrial Specification: Diverting Gate

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical component within a Diverting Chute Assembly that controls the direction of material flow by opening, closing, or redirecting the path.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.0 m/s material flow velocity, 0-60° deflection angle, -20°C to 80°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Gate hinge shear stress exceeding 250 MPa, actuator torque exceeding 120 N·m, gate deflection exceeding 5 mm from nominal position**, Mechanism: **Hinge pin fatigue failure due to cyclic loading at stress concentrations exceeding yield strength (σ_y = 345 MPa for AISI 1045 steel), abrasive wear from particulate flow exceeding material hardness (HRC 45 for hardened steel)**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Accumulated particulate buildup exceeding 15 mm thickness at hinge interface | 8 | Increased friction torque exceeding actuator capacity, causing gate misalignment | Install pneumatic purge nozzles at hinge points with 0.7 MPa air pressure at 30-second intervals |
| Repeated impact loading from 50 kg material lumps at 2.5 m/s velocity | 8 | Progressive plastic deformation of gate plate leading to 3+ mm permanent deflection | Implement impact-absorbing polyurethane lining with 90 Shore A hardness and 15 mm thickness |
