    Hi,
    If I change out an inactive cylinder pressure motor on a Speed Master 52 will the motor recalibrate itself when powered up?

    Thanks

    No, you need to confirm that the distance between blanket and impression cylinder is .35mm at bearer and check ring when on impression and sheet thickness is set to .10mm. If not, manually set to .35mm and make sure motor is set before mounting.

    1 thing to add is when adjusting the pressure to 0.35, first set it to 0.40 and than finally to 0.35 +/- 0.01. This will eliminate the backlash error.

    This happens automatically with software. When increasing pressure it will move step by step, when decreasing pressure it will move past the selected pressure and move forward again to the selected pressure.

    I forgot to mention, when setting manually before installing the motor.
