# Industrial Specification: Drill Head/Rotary Drive

## 1. Technical Definition
The core mechanical assembly that provides rotational force and cutting action in trenchless drilling operations.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **50-300 bar hydraulic pressure, 0-120 rpm rotational speed, 15-40 kN·m torque**. Failure boundary: **Hydraulic pressure exceeding 350 bar causes seal extrusion, bearing temperature exceeding 120°C initiates lubricant breakdown, torque exceeding 45 kN·m induces gear tooth yielding**, Mechanism: **Seal failure occurs via extrusion through clearance gaps at ΔP&gt;50 MPa, bearing failure via lubricant thermal degradation at Arrhenius rate doubling per 10°C above 120°C, gear failure via Hertzian contact stress exceeding 1500 MPa yield strength**.

### 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.
