# Industrial Specification: Transfer Arm/Gate

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical component within a case feeding mechanism that controls the transfer of cases between stations.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.5 m/s linear velocity, 0.1-1.0 kN actuation force, 0.05-0.15 mm positioning accuracy**. Failure boundary: **Actuation force exceeding 1.2 kN causes permanent deformation of linkage pins, positioning error exceeding 0.25 mm triggers system fault**, Mechanism: **Yield strength of AISI 4140 steel linkage pins (415 MPa) exceeded under cyclic loading, causing plastic deformation and positional drift due to Hertzian contact stress at bearing interfaces**.

### 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.
