# Industrial Specification: Linear Actuator/Guide

## 1. Technical Definition
A precision mechanical component that provides controlled linear motion and guidance within a lamination feeder system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-100 mm/s linear velocity, 0.01-0.05 mm positioning accuracy, 0-50°C ambient temperature, 0-85% relative humidity**. Failure boundary: **Linear velocity exceeding 120 mm/s causes bearing raceway spalling, positioning error exceeding 0.1 mm triggers system fault, temperature exceeding 60°C degrades lubricant viscosity below 68 cSt**, Mechanism: **Hertzian contact stress exceeding 1.8 GPa at ball/raceway interface causes subsurface fatigue cracks, thermal expansion coefficient mismatch (steel: 11×10⁻⁶/°C vs aluminum: 23×10⁻⁶/°C) creates binding forces exceeding 150 N at guide rails**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
