Common mistakes people make when checking actuator compatibility
I ran into that exact problem last year actuator replace, and what really helped was using a Linear actuator substitution for [brand/model] chart. I realized I was only comparing stroke length and voltage, but ignored mounting style and limit switches. The guide let me match everything properly and saved me from ordering three different actuators before finding the right fit. Measuring carefully and checking all specs is key.

One thing I’ve noticed is that even if two actuators have matching voltage and stroke, differences in response time or torque can affect how smoothly your mechanism runs. It’s always worth testing small before committing to a full replacement.
