# Industrial Specification: Elevator Conveyor

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical conveying component within a cap sorter/elevator system that vertically transports caps between different processing stages.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.5 m/s vertical speed, 5-50 kg load capacity, 2-20 m vertical travel distance**. Failure boundary: **Chain tensile strength exceeds 25 kN, bearing temperature exceeds 120°C, motor current exceeds 150% rated current for &gt;30 seconds**, Mechanism: **Chain elongation due to plastic deformation at &gt;25 kN tensile load, bearing lubrication breakdown at &gt;120°C, motor insulation degradation at &gt;150% overload**.

### 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 |
