# Industrial Specification: Tension Control

## 1. Technical Definition
A system that regulates and maintains consistent tension in material feeding processes

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-15 NÂ·m torque output, 0-10 VDC control signal, 20-1000 N tension force**. Failure boundary: **Torque output exceeds 18 NÂ·m causing clutch/brake slippage beyond 0.2 mm, control signal deviation &gt;Â±0.5 VDC from setpoint**, Mechanism: **Hysteresis heating in electromagnetic clutch/brake assemblies exceeding 120Â°C Curie point, causing permanent magnetic flux degradation (Î”B/Î”t &gt; 0.15 T/s)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Tractive Power & Resistance Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = \frac{F \cdot v}{\eta}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Ensures motor torque capacity exceeds operational inertia.
