Hi All, someone can help me find this part of my actuator, I do not know where to find it, I do not know if they would sell it, since my actuator is from old people, I would appreciate any information that you can give me. God bless you all

That looks like a Venture, still in business. Contact these guys: Satellite Actuators | Venture Mfg. Co.

Probably "Limit switch assembly".

Call them and provide the model number and description. They may request you email a photo of the part.

How can they not respond if you've talked to them on the phone? Well, call them again, and ask how they are coming along with your request for replacement parts.

Call them on the phone first, and tell them you sent an email. You can never for sure trust emails 100%. Perhaps it got lost somehow, hard to know. A phone call removes all doubt.

Correct. The whole thing is the "leadscrew assembly". It is made up of the metal "leadscrew" and the "nut - leadscrew plastic" with the "stroke adjust rod" and a #8 screw to hold the stroke adjust rod. Going by your pics you are missing the stroke adjust rod. I have included some documents for Venture actuators.

That's right, it's the only thing I need, it's said that it can be used without that part that I need but I do not know how to make it work

but I prefer to get that part so as not to do something wrong and damage the equipment due to a bad installation

Well, the picture with the two fingers and the leadscrew seems not to be of his equipment, but a copy from one of the documents you posted.

So the whole leadscrew + stroke adjust rod assembly seems indeed to be missing (first picture), and the hard limit switches for extend and retract are not in operation. That is indeed not good for hardware safety.

can you just find a nail of the same diameter and cut it to approximate length? (preferably stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized)

That's right, that's why I put the photo of my actuator, and the photo of what I need, because I do not think that's the part I need, I just put it as a reference I think it's the same mechanism is just to stop the pulse from side to side
