[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 22992, member: 175144"] On some of the olders style manual positioners the main voltage to the actuator is controlled by two relays operating in tandem. When the commands to work East and West are given, the relay sends the 36V in either positive or negative to the actuator outside. When the command is stopped the actuator is halted by both the loss of voltage and a short actoss the relay within the design of the circuit (this provides a reverse current to the actuator and prevents the momentum of the motor windings and gears from continuing onwards) If the circuit has failed in shorting the momentum will ensure the motor travels further than the required position, and so the memorised positions will not be stopped on. I would check the positioner for dry joints around the relays and maybe clean up the relay contacts if these can be uncovered. [/QUOTE]
