# Industrial Specification: Elevator/Conveyor

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical device that lifts and transports caps vertically or horizontally within the cap feeding system

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s vertical velocity, 0.3-1.5 m/s horizontal velocity, 5-50 kg load capacity**. Failure boundary: **Belt tension exceeding 1500 N causes permanent deformation, motor temperature exceeding 120°C triggers thermal shutdown, bearing vibration amplitude exceeding 0.8 mm/s RMS indicates imminent failure**, Mechanism: **Belt fatigue failure due to cyclic bending stress exceeding 25 MPa yield strength, bearing seizure from lubricant breakdown at 100°C, motor insulation degradation at 130°C thermal class limit**.

### 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.
