As the title states, I need to find some replacment parts for my Von-Wise 24 inch linear actuator.
It looks like the nylon cams for the East/West hard limit switches have crumbled, the centers have gone.
But I think I need the sensor more then anything as the motor now steps way past the satellites current settings, it use to go very smoothly in between the satellites.
It still runs smoothly from satellite to satellite but it runs past the position settings that were setup before this started, going into the menus to fine tune it it jumps outside the normal steps, before this the fine tuning was in very small steps.
Here are some photos.
The motor is old, so I hope I can find the right parts.
