06. Installation
06.01. Mechanical Installation
To install a REGNER® actuator, simply slip a pin
through the hole on each end. Mounting pins must
be parallel to each other to keep the actuator from
bending and being damaged.
The actuator should be installed so that the force of
the load is exerted on the center of the rod. Exces-
sive off-center loads may cause bending and lead to
premature failure.

OTHER
To prevent premature wear, make sure that the
mounting pins are fixed at both ends, are solid,
and do not have excessive free play. However, the
actuator must be able to rotate around the pivot
point of the rod, as this will allow the actuator to
move freely along the full stroke length, both in the
development phase and during normal operation.
Examine the area around the housing and see that
no components can get trapped and damage the
application and the actuator.
CAUTION!
• Mounting pins must have the correct dimensions
and limited free play.
• Any bolts and nuts used for the installation must
be made of high-quality steel.
• Do not apply an excessive torque on the mounting
bolts to avoid stressing the fixtures.
CAUTION!
• The rod can turn a maximum of 90°.
WARNING!
If the actuator is used in an application that may
cause personal injury, it is the responsibility of the
application manufacturer to introduce the necessary
safety measures to prevent personal injury in case
of failure.
WARNING!
REGNER® actuators are not designed to be used in
the following applications: aircraft, explosive envi-
ronments, nuclear power generators, and offshore
installations.
