The piston stroke is 0.4-0.8 mm (0.016-0.031 in).

•	If the piston stroke is less than the limit of piston stroke, parts may have been assembled incorrectly, so check and reassemble again.

•	If the stroke is non-standard, select another flange.

•	There are 3 flanges in different thickness.

Specifications

•	The number 1 flange thickness is 3 mm (0.118 in).
