    Default Satellite actuator query.

    I recently bought a couple of "Genuine Jaeger Superjack" satellite actuators, to have in reserve in case they get obsolete.
    The brand I received is ""Superpowerjack" rather than "Superjack".
    Anyone know if they are genuine Jaeger or are they copies. They seem well made, but just curious , did I get what I bought ?

    I'd be surprised, I'm sure they all come out of china anyway. Open the covers and look at the quality of the wiring and the reed sensors. Whats the weight like? what length?

    Unfortunately as said they all come from China now unless you import one from the USA but it costs if you want a US build and manufacture unit.
    I had a superjack 20 odd years ago that was rebuilt every few years as the actuator bearing collapsed as the water ran through it to drain out.Replaced with a modern unit which was nowhere near as good in my opinion.

    Thanks for the replies, but maybe I didn't phrase the question correctly.
    I bought a "Genuine Jaeger Superjack 24" Qarl actuator.

    I expected it to have "Superjack written on it, like in this image.

    I received this one, seems fine is of good build quality, is indeed heavy duty, and I'm quite happy with it.but it's got "Superpowerjack" on it, as in this image

    My question is as follows.

    Did I get what I bought and paid for, i.e do Jaeger still exist and if so is "Superpowerjack" a licensed/affiliated product.

    OR

    Is Superpowerjack, tat that the seller is passing off as Jaeger Superjack ?

    Thanks, that's what I suspected.
