# Industrial Specification: Vacuum Generator

## 1. Technical Definition
A device that creates vacuum pressure for suction applications

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-0.9 bar absolute pressure (10-90 kPa)**. Failure boundary: **0.05 bar absolute pressure (5 kPa) - vacuum pump cavitation threshold**, Mechanism: **Cavitation occurs when local pressure drops below fluid vapor pressure (2.34 kPa at 20°C for water), causing vapor bubble formation and implosion damage to pump components**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Pneumatic Actuator Theoretical Force**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F = P \cdot A \cdot \eta_{eff}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Calculates real-world pushing/clamping force for rejectors.
