Hi,
I have an Geotrack HV24 actuator that is quite old and siezed up. I am wondering if it is worth the effort of trying to free it up to get back into service. It came from a Precision 2.2 metre motorised installation so I am hoping that the actuator may have been decent spec in its day?
If it is worth trying to free it up, can anyone please advise me where I start? I have tried both a v-box and an ASC-1 to see if there is any movement but no luck. There is an initial minor vibration as though it is trying to move but thats all. Having never dismantled an actuator before I am clueless where to begin.
I have attached a few pics of the actuator, any advice most appreciated.
