  • Page 283 Pressing Force and Current Limit Value Caution • The correlation of the pressing force and the current limit value is the rated pressing speed (in the setting at the delivery) and is a reference value. • Use the actuator with the setting above the minimum pressing force value. The pressing force will be unstable if it is below the minimum pressing force value.
