[QUOTE="beavs2112, post: 914993, member: 384689"] Hi martin-f :) Back to your topic. I have not personally owned or operated a Venture or Thomson actuator but their reputation over here in North America is excellent. They are the best satellite mount actuators here in NA. I would also recommend the ball screw version over the acme nut versions due to its lower friction, higher efficiency & longer lifespan design. Both companies products have been been moving big heavy 3m fiberglass & 3.8m aluminum mesh PF antennae around since the 1980's or earlier. They should (and do) last for decades. I would recommend them to anyone. Its what I would own if money permitted. Many satellite dealers here in NA carry them. I have never heard of a clone Thomson or Venture actuator. I haven't ever ordered from Vincor but I've never heard anything bad either. Vincor is also a reputable international commercial satellite dealer so you should not have any concerns about clones or quality. Some other companies actuator products have garnered a bad reputation (in NA at least) for cheaper quality actuators that are more noisy in the motor & gearbox, thinner metal housing assemblies, have premature excessive gear wear & breakage, & premature excessive acme nut wear issues. Most only last 2-5 years. Kevin [/QUOTE]
