# Industrial Specification: Pressure Spring/Pneumatic Actuator

## 1. Technical Definition
A component within a polishing head assembly that provides controlled pressure application through spring force or pneumatic actuation.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-6.0 bar (7.25-87.02 psi)**. Failure boundary: **8.0 bar (116.03 psi) for spring fatigue, 0.3 bar (4.35 psi) for pneumatic stiction**, Mechanism: **Spring wire fatigue at 8.0 bar exceeds ASTM A228 music wire yield strength of 1723 MPa; pneumatic piston stiction occurs below 0.3 bar when friction force exceeds pneumatic force (μ=0.15, piston area=12.57 cm²)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$
