Is there any reason why I couldn't use the QARL-3618? A long time ago I used a much smaller 18" actuator on my dish and it lasted for many years. The mount uses only about 8" of stroke to go full range. The 36" one is really too long.
no you should be able to use the lighter motor with a mesh dish it's just that the heavy duty version holds up longer and would be more stable. but the light duty should move your dish just fine.
