# Industrial Specification: Gripper/Clamp

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical device used to grasp, hold, or secure objects during loading/unloading operations.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-6.0 MPa gripping pressure, 0-150°C ambient temperature, 0-85% relative humidity**. Failure boundary: **Gripping force drops below 80% of rated capacity at 6.3 MPa hydraulic pressure or 0.45 MPa pneumatic pressure, structural deformation exceeds 0.2 mm at 7.0 MPa**, Mechanism: **Plastic deformation of jaw teeth due to Hertzian contact stress exceeding material yield strength (σ_y = 450 MPa for hardened steel), seal extrusion failure at pressure differential &gt;6.5 MPa**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Hydraulic fluid contamination with 15 μm particles exceeding ISO 4406 18/16/13 cleanliness level | 8 | Spool valve stiction causing 300 ms response delay, leading to dropped payload | Install 10 μm absolute filtration with differential pressure monitoring at 0.3 bar threshold |
| Repeated impact loading at 5g acceleration during misaligned part insertion | 8 | Fatigue crack propagation in jaw pivot pin at stress intensity factor ΔK &gt; 20 MPa√m | Implement strain-gauge based force feedback limiting to 90% of rated capacity with 10 ms response |
