Did your actuator quit? How many hours on it? If it did quit, then the actuator isn't sized right for the application or maybe some other problem occured?
I would just go to an industrial supplier and get what you need. Take what you have with you and they should be able to at least match what you have, but you probably need something better. In the industrial environment, low time operation with failures will cause us to redesign or upgrade to something better.....even if OEM on the equipment being used. We simply cannot afford the downtime that substandard/undersized components cause. Try Grainger, SMC electric supply, MSC industrial supply, or McMaster Carr.

I could buy another from Van's Aircraft but I prefer not to spend the $320 they want for it. I found another source where I can buy them at 1/3rd the cost of Van's. What I need to know is the pounds force it takes to deploy my belly board. Here are the parameters: Board measures 9" x 30"x 1/8" 6061T6 Deployment speed max 110 MPH. I know there has to be a formula out there to figure this and I hope someone smarter than me can tell me the pounds of force I need to accomplish a smooth and full deployment to 80 degrees from fuselage bottom. Oh yea, The stroke is 7 inches.
