# Industrial Specification: Grinding Head Assembly

## 1. Technical Definition
The core grinding mechanism of an industrial meat grinder that processes meat into fine particles.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.0 MPa hydraulic pressure, 1500-3000 RPM rotational speed, 20-80°C operating temperature**. Failure boundary: **Hydraulic pressure &gt;3.5 MPa causes seal rupture, rotational speed &gt;3500 RPM induces bearing seizure, temperature &gt;100°C degrades lubricant viscosity below 10 cSt**, Mechanism: **Fatigue failure from cyclic Hertzian contact stress exceeding 1200 MPa at grinding teeth, abrasive wear from meat particle impingement at velocities &gt;15 m/s, thermal expansion mismatch between stainless steel (17.3 μm/m·K) and carbide (4.5 μm/m·K) components**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Harmonic Vibration Force Generation**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_e = m \cdot r \cdot \omega^2 \sin(\omega t)$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Calculates centrifugal force for vibratory sifters/feeders.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| m | Eccentric Mass | Engineering Constant |
| r | Radius | Engineering Constant |
| \omega | Angular Frequency | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Hydraulic fluid contamination with particulate &gt;15 μm | 8 | Servo valve spool jamming at 0.1 mm displacement tolerance | Install 10 μm absolute filtration with differential pressure monitoring at 0.3 bar threshold |
| Misalignment exceeding 0.05 mm/m between drive shaft and grinding plate | 8 | Accelerated bearing wear reducing L10 life from 10,000 to 2,000 hours | Laser alignment during assembly with 0.02 mm/m tolerance and real-time vibration monitoring at 4.5 mm/s RMS threshold |
