# Industrial Specification: Main Spindle Assembly

## 1. Technical Definition
The core rotating component that drives cutting tools in CNC machining centers

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-8000 rpm, 0-50 Nm torque, 0-15 kW power, 0-100°C operating temperature**. Failure boundary: **Exceeding 8500 rpm causes bearing skidding, exceeding 60 Nm torque causes shaft yielding, exceeding 120°C causes lubricant breakdown**, Mechanism: **Bearing fatigue from cyclic Hertzian contact stresses exceeding 2.1 GPa, thermal expansion mismatch between steel shaft (11.7 μm/m·K) and ceramic bearings (5.6 μm/m·K) at ΔT&gt;80°C**.

### 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.
