# Industrial Specification: Tachometer

## 1. Technical Definition
An instrument that measures and displays the rotational speed of an engine's crankshaft in revolutions per minute (RPM).

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-15000 RPM**. Failure boundary: **Exceeding 18000 RPM causes permanent mechanical deformation of the sensing element**, Mechanism: **Centrifugal force exceeding the yield strength of the rotating mass (σ_yield = 250 MPa for hardened steel) causing plastic deformation**.

### 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.
