# Industrial Specification: Ram/Slide Assembly

## 1. Technical Definition
The reciprocating component that delivers the stamping force through the tooling to the workpiece in a progressive stamping press.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-250 kN at 100-1200 strokes/min**. Failure boundary: **Yield strength exceeded at 275 MPa stress or 0.15 mm permanent deformation**, Mechanism: **High-cycle fatigue from cyclic Hertzian contact stress exceeding 210 MPa at guide interfaces**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Harmonic Vibration Force Generation**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_e = m \cdot r \cdot \omega^2 \sin(\omega t)$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Calculates centrifugal force for vibratory sifters/feeders.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in ram/slide assemblies for stamping presses?
**A**: Ram/slide assemblies are typically constructed from forged steel for maximum strength and durability, or ductile cast iron for excellent wear resistance and vibration damping in heavy-duty stamping applications.

### Q: How does the slide adjustment mechanism work in a ram assembly?
**A**: The slide adjustment mechanism uses a precision nut and screw system to fine-tune the ram's stroke length and bottom dead center position, ensuring accurate tooling alignment and consistent stamping force delivery.

### Q: What maintenance do ram/slide assembly gibs require?
**A**: Gibs (guide liners) require regular lubrication and inspection for wear. Proper maintenance ensures smooth vertical movement, minimizes deflection, and extends the service life of the entire ram/slide assembly in progressive stamping operations.
