# Industrial Specification: X-Axis Linear Guide &amp; Drive

## 1. Technical Definition
A precision linear motion system that provides guided movement along the X-axis direction within an XY gantry system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-2.0 m/s linear velocity, 0.5-15 kN axial load capacity, -10°C to 80°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Ball bearing fatigue at 10⁷ cycles under 8 kN load, recirculation system failure at 2.5 m/s velocity, rail deformation at 18 kN load**, Mechanism: **Hertzian contact stress exceeding 3.5 GPa causes subsurface fatigue cracks in ball bearings; hydrodynamic lubrication breakdown at 2.5 m/s creates metal-to-metal contact; yield strength exceedance at 18 kN load causes plastic deformation in rail material**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Harmonic Vibration Force Generation**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_e = m \cdot r \cdot \omega^2 \sin(\omega t)$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Calculates centrifugal force for vibratory sifters/feeders.
