# Industrial Specification: Tuning Mechanisms

## 1. Technical Definition
Mechanical components within a cavity body that adjust and optimize operational parameters such as frequency, resonance, or alignment.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-100 N·m torque, 0.01-1.0 mm displacement, 1-1000 Hz frequency adjustment**. Failure boundary: **Yield strength of 4140 steel (415 MPa) for structural components, 0.5% permanent deformation in precision surfaces, 0.1 mm backlash in adjustment mechanisms**, Mechanism: **Fatigue failure from cyclic loading at stress concentrations exceeding 207 MPa (half yield strength), wear-induced clearance exceeding 0.05 mm causing resonance shift, thermal expansion mismatch exceeding 0.02 mm at 150°C interface temperature**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
