Best practices when switching to Progressive Automations actuators in existing setups
I recently upgraded a few actuators using the Replace my linear actuator with Progressive Automations https://www.progressiveautomations.ca/pages/replacement-chart guide, and it was a lifesaver. I measured the stroke, checked voltage and load, and found exact replacements that fit perfectly. Taking photos before disconnecting old units helped me remember wiring, and following the guide ensured I didn’t have to adjust mounts. Everything worked smoothly after the swap, and it saved a lot of trial and error.

Switching actuators in existing setups can be tricky if you don’t carefully compare specs first. Even small differences in stroke, speed, or mounting points can affect performance, so double-checking measurements and voltage is crucial. Using a reference chart or compatibility guide not only prevents mistakes but also makes the whole replacement process faster and less stressful. It’s a smart approach for both DIY and professional setups.
