The data sheet on the assembled actuator shows a "full load" current of 4.5A at 12V. This sounds like something much smaller than a CIM or even mini-CIM. The BAG or one of the smaller BaneBots or Denso sounds like a closer match. The first step would be to see if you can get a model number on the motor that is in the actuator, and check that against R42. If it's not there, start racking and stacking the motors on the list against the one you found there. You'd probably rather replace it with a more capable motor, but not one that is several times as capable - you'd probably end up shredding some gear teeth inside the mechanism.
