# Industrial Specification: Track Rail

## 1. Technical Definition
A precision linear guide component within bowl tooling systems that provides controlled movement and alignment for processing operations.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s linear velocity, 0.01-0.05 mm/m straightness tolerance, -20°C to 80°C temperature range**. Failure boundary: **Surface contact stress exceeding 1.2 GPa (Hertzian contact theory), cumulative sliding distance &gt; 1000 km, rail deflection &gt; 0.1 mm/m under 500 N load**, Mechanism: **Adhesive wear (Archard's wear equation: V = KWL/H where K=3×10⁻⁷ for steel-steel), plastic deformation at asperity contacts when σ_contact &gt; 0.6×yield_strength, thermal expansion mismatch (ΔL = αLΔT where α_steel=11×10⁻⁶/°C) causing binding**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Frame Structural Deflection Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\delta = \frac{5 q L^4}{384 E I}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Ensures structural stability for multi-stage machines.
