This has to do with a retention plate for a gas injection system and appears twice next to a drawing of the plate as "empeno max. 0,5 mm".
There is a small table next to the drawing with the headings
Medidas del porta empaquetadura
Local
Patrón
Medido
followed by X = 0,5 mm (ejecutar desempeno)
Unfortunately I can't provide any more context, but maybe someone will have an idea of what's meant by "empeno" here.

So - does "ejecutar desempeno" mean:
- to straighten the plate, or
- to carry out a performance test?
I presume that Antonio's suggestion "bending" is correct.
I think there can be a typo in your source text.
Kindly ask you to write down the longest possible part of your text in the source language well before "empeno max. 0,5 mm" and well after X = 0,5 mm (ejecutar desempeno).
The reason of my suggestion is that in your other question you wrote: "Control de Mantenimiento/Desempeno - Sistema de Inyección de Gas" and there Desempeno MUST be written Desempeño what means Performance in that context.
