Larry:
I thought about it for a minute then remembered "Never
look a gift horse in the mouth." For what it's worth,
my actuator was given to me and it would have been
rude (and stupid) to refuse it or complain because it
wasn't the 25lb model. My model number is
S12-17A8-04. The 25lb model is S12-09A4-04. You can
see the spec. sheet on this unit here:

If you aren't lucky like me, you can purchase one for
under $200 brand new. No extra parts required to make
it stop at the end of travel both ways.
To make it work electrically, all you need is a
reversing toggle switch from steinair.com, Part no.
SA-806 ($14.50) which is momentary with the center off
and it reverses polarity with an up or down flip of
the switch. The actuator stops at the end of travel
or if you let go of the switch.
I can't see a reason why this is not better than the
ZAC supplied material. But then again theirs has flown
and mine just decorates my garage.

In my humble opinion, 75 lbs is massive overkill.
Stop and think about it for a minute.
