[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 971560, member: 243342"] Welp, got up early this morning to check my actuators to see if any can be of any use. Erm... they are all crap. 2x SuperJack 3624 HD (heavy duty, not high def) ones both have a bit of play in the worm drive (about 1mm). Doesn't sound like a lot but it translates into a fair bit of accuracy issue... One of them is brand new - never used. 1x SuperJack 3024 XL HQ (?) - seems to be a ball screw type but designed to take 30v instead of 36v. Used but in good visual condition. Again, a bit of play in the worm drive but it seems like it's more of the play inside the gearbox rather than the worm drive itself. Ball screw types (if it is indeed that) shouldn't have any play there. Need to take it apart to see if there's anything that can be tightened there. 1x Venture Skylighter - this is the acme type (i.e. a normal thread/nut worm drive). Again - play in the drive. This can't be normal. Surely, they don't ALL have play in them? I can't risk buying a £400 Venture ball screw jack to find it has the same problem.... [/QUOTE]
