# Industrial Specification: Escapement Gate

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical component within an escapement mechanism that controls the release of items or parts at precise intervals.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.5 N·m torque, 0.1-5.0 mm gate displacement, 0.01-0.50 mm positional tolerance**. Failure boundary: **Gate deformation exceeding 0.75 mm from nominal position, wear depth &gt;0.15 mm on contact surfaces, backlash &gt;0.30 mm**, Mechanism: **Hertzian contact stress exceeding material yield strength (σ_y &gt; 450 MPa for hardened steel), leading to plastic deformation and geometric inaccuracy**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Abrasive particle contamination (ISO 4406 18/16/13) in lubrication | 8 | Accelerated wear rate exceeding 0.02 mm/1000 cycles on gate contact surfaces | Integrate 10 μm absolute filtration with magnetic particle capture in lubrication system |
| Cyclic loading at 85% of material fatigue limit (S_e = 300 MPa) for &gt;10^7 cycles | 8 | Micro-crack initiation at stress concentration points (K_t = 2.5) leading to fracture | Implement shot peening to induce 400-600 MPa compressive residual stress layer |
