# Industrial Specification: Guiding Actuator

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical or electromechanical device within an Edge Guide System that physically adjusts the position of material edges during processing.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-1.5 mm displacement, 24 VDC ±10%, 0.5-3.0 N force output**. Failure boundary: **Exceeds 2.0 mm displacement, voltage outside 21.6-26.4 VDC, force output below 0.3 N**, Mechanism: **Hall-effect sensor saturation at 2.0 mm displacement causes position feedback loss; copper coil insulation breakdown at 150°C due to Joule heating (P=I²R)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **L10 Bearing Life & Fatigue Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $L_{10} = (\frac{C}{P})^p$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Predicts mechanical lifecycle before component fatigue.
