# Industrial Specification: Spindle Assembly

## 1. Technical Definition
A precision rotating assembly that transmits torque and rotational motion to cutting tools or workpieces in industrial machinery.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-12000 rpm, 0-50 N·m torque, 20-80°C operating temperature**. Failure boundary: **Bearing L10 life exceeded at 1×10^7 cycles, vibration amplitude &gt; 2.5 mm/s RMS, thermal expansion &gt; 15 μm at 100°C**, Mechanism: **Hertzian contact stress exceeding bearing material yield strength (σ_y = 1.2 GPa for GCr15 steel), thermal gradient-induced differential expansion (α_steel = 11×10^-6/°C, α_aluminum = 23×10^-6/°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.
