# Industrial Specification: Vacuum Generator/Valve

## 1. Technical Definition
A component that creates and controls vacuum pressure for suction-based gripping systems.

## 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) minimum vacuum threshold**, Mechanism: **Venturi effect breakdown at critical pressure ratio (P_outlet/P_inlet &gt; 0.528) causing flow separation and vacuum collapse**.

### 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.
