Substituting linear actuators: tips for selecting the right replacement
I went through the same situation and found the Linear actuator substitution for https://www.progressiveautomations.ca/pages/replacement-chart guide super helpful. It lets you cross-reference your old actuators with compatible models from multiple brands, so you can pick a replacement that fits perfectly without modifying mounts or wiring. I just checked stroke, voltage, and load, and the replacement worked seamlessly. It saved a ton of trial-and-error and made the upgrade much smoother.

It’s impressive how much detail matters when substituting actuators, especially in setups where precision is key. Even small differences in stroke or speed can affect performance, so having a reliable reference to compare specs ensures your project stays functional and safe. Cross-referencing also helps avoid unnecessary purchases and wasted time, making both DIY and professional upgrades much more efficient.
