Common Concerns Answered
Will this bracket fit my older Lectrotab actuator?
This BU-2 bracket is designed specifically for Lectrotab Heavy-Duty Actuators. While Lectrotab strives for consistency, we recommend verifying your existing actuator model against the BU-2 specifications to ensure perfect compatibility, especially for units manufactured prior to current production runs.
I'm having trouble aligning the bolt with my current bracket. Any tips?
Proper alignment is critical. Ensure the actuator upper cover boss is clean and free of debris. If replacing an existing bracket, note the original orientation. If installing new, consult the Lectrotab Installation Manual (provided link) for detailed alignment procedures; a slight adjustment of the actuator position may be necessary before fully tightening the bolt.
Can I use this bracket with a non-Lectrotab actuator?
No, this Lectrotab BU-2 Upper Bracket is engineered exclusively for Lectrotab Heavy-Duty Actuators. Using it with any other brand or model actuator will likely result in improper fit, compromised functionality, and potential damage to both components.
