HOW TO USE THE ICR SV1B BASIC ACTUATOR : 5
5.8.2 Retract Velocity Potentiometer
The Retract velocity potentiometer is used to set the Retract velocity of the
actuator’s rod. The velocity range is stated from 2-100% of maximum velocity.
Changes made to the Retract velocity potentiometer setting will only take effect
after the actuator is stopped and before the next motion is commanded. Turn the
potentiometer screw clockwise to increase the actuator’s rod Retract velocity and
counter-clockwise to decrease the Retract velocity.

5.8.3 Force Control Potentiometer
The Force control potentiometer is used to set the actuator’s force limit allowing
it to stop and hold (also known as push and hold) in position. The potentiometer
setting must be between 10-100% of the actuator’s capable Force output for
the setting to be activated. Settings of less than 10% disable the Force control
feature. For example, when the actuator makes contact and starts to build up
force, it keeps building force to threshold levels. At that point, the actuator stops
and holds its position.
Push force for locating is best used under low velocity
[less than 3"/sec. (76mm/sec.)
recommended] conditions to give the actuator time to react.
