Stroke length is the distance the armature bar travels from making contact with the front coil to making contact with the front contact screw.
To shorten the stroke you can adjust the front contact screw in or bend the front spring upward. This will serve to speed up the machine. Bending the front spring upward stiffens the spring.
To lengthen the stroke you can adjust the front contact screw out or bend the front spring down a bit. You can also bend the rear spring upward to lengthen the stroke. This will serve to slow the machine down.
