Table for Modifying the Stitch Tensions
Distances and idle times for modifying the stitch tensions with MSEC = 1.0:
With the machine types ST 211 - ST 811
The change of the stitch tension is independent of the machine type.

Gauge | Quantity of needles for changing stitch tension by one value | Idle time |
|---|---|---|
E 3 | 2.66 | 5 |
E 3,5 | 3.2 | 5 |
E 5 (2,5.2) | 1.8 | 7 |
E 7 (3,5.2) | 2.25 | 8 |
E 8 | 3 | 9 |
E 10 (5.2) | 4.5 | 11 |
E 12 (6.2) | 4.5 | 13 |
E 14 (7.2) | 4.5 | 14 |
E 16 (8.2) | 4.8 | 4 |
E 18 (9.2) | 5.4 | 4.5 |
E 20 | 6 | 5 |
With the machine types ST 168 - ST 468, OKC and EKC
These types of machines control the step motors faster.
Power Tension Settings (PTS) depending on the machine speed:
