How cross reference charts simplify actuator replacement projects
I’m about to replace some old actuators in my home automation setup, but I’m worried about compatibility and spending hours figuring out which ones will actually fit. Has anyone used a cross reference chart to make this process easier? I’d love to hear real-world experiences, like whether it really saves time or if there are still surprises even after checking the specs.

I ran into the same dilemma last year and using the Actuator compatibility guide https://www.progressiveautomations.com/pages/replacement-chart was a game-changer. It let me quickly compare the specs of my old actuators with available replacements and find units that matched voltage, stroke, and mounting points. It saved me from trial-and-error and also helped avoid ordering something that wouldn’t physically fit. Definitely worth checking before committing to a purchase.
