reversing stroke

Explanation:
- Colpo d’ariete. Ad ogni comando di apertura,
l’anta preme in battuta di chiusura per un secondo,
facilitando l’operazione di sgancio
dell’elettroserratura collegata sui morsetti.

This seems to be what it's referring to:

- A reversing stroke is a short closing phase that allows the
electric lock time to disengage itself before the operator starts
its opening. Turn DIP switch 5 on only if necessary for your
lock to function correctly.

here is what Wikipedia says about water hammer

Water hammer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For a hammer powered by water, see Trip hammer.

Water hammer (or, more generally, fluid hammer) is a pressure surge or wave resulting when a fluid (usually a liquid but sometimes also a gas) in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum change). Water hammer commonly occurs when a valve is closed suddenly at an end of a pipeline system, and a pressure wave propagates in the pipe. It may also be known as hydraulic shock.

This pressure wave can cause major problems, from noise and vibration to pipe collapse. It is possible to reduce the effects of the water hammer pulses with accumulators and other features.
