02. Safety
Please read the following safety information careful-
ly and make sure that everyone using, connecting or
installing the actuator has the necessary skills and
information, as well as access to this user manual.
02.01. Safety Guidelines
• Only properly qualified personnel can perform me-
chanical and electrical installation of the actuator.
• Do not mount, dismount or perform maintenance
work while the actuator is in operation.
• Check that the actuator is correctly mounted
before operating the device.
• Make sure that the connection bolts can withstand
the wear and that they are safely secured before
operating the device.
• Check that the actuator can move freely through-
out the whole working area before operating the
device.
• Use the actuator only within the specified working
limits.
• Check that the actuator is connected to a power
supply with the correct voltage and current source
before operating the device.
• Switch off the main power supply when the
actuator is not in use to prevent unintentional
operation.
• Do not exert force on the side of the actuator.
• Make sure that the cable cannot be pressed upon,
pulled or subjected to any other stress.
• Never unplug any cables or connectors during
operation or with power on.
• Stop using the actuator immediately if it seems
faulty or broken.
• Never try to open the actuator, as that will com-
promise the sealing and the proper functioning of
the device.
• Do not kick or step on the actuator.
• Check the actuator and joints for extraordinary
wear periodically.
• Keep out of reach of children.

03. Warranty
All REGNER® products have a warranty against
manufacturing defects. The warranty period begins
on the purchase date of the product. The seller is
responsible for nonconformities that become appar-
ent within the time stipulated by the applicable law.
03.01. Warranty Exclusions
REGNER® is entitled to deny any warranty if:
• The actuator has not been used correctly or its
usage specifications (load, temperature, duty cycle,
voltage, current, etc.) have not been respected.
• The actuator has not been maintained correctly.
• The actuator has been manipulated.
• The actuator has been exposed to violent or abra-
sive treatment.
Nonconformities due to reasonable wear and tear
of the actuator over time (such as faded paint) are
excluded from warranty.
REGNER® reserves the right to request the return
of all allegedly defective products for testing and
verification.
Any additional warranty obligations for parts
replaced free of charge or for any service provided
without charge under this warranty shall be exclud-
ed. The warranty period for parts replaced under
warranty will end on the expiry date of the warranty

Different feedback options for easy integration
The RA-67 features a microprocessor and up to four
customizable feedback options. The actuator can be
equipped with a hall effect encoder with position
memory and digital output and it can convert the
output signal to an analog signal (hall potentiome-
ter) thanks to its advanced electronics. Furthermore,
there is available a pulse hall PWM tracking option
and an innovative spindle revolutions count system.
Lastly, the RA-67 also presents integrated limit
switches to increase safety and reliability.

04.05. Electronic Limit Switches (ELS)
When the actuator reaches its fully extended or
fully retracted positions, an electronic limit switch
automatically cuts off the current to prevent dam-
age to the motor. When it reaches either stroke end
point, the actuator can move only in the opposite
direction, until it is separated from the limit and it
can resume its normal function and move freely in
either direction.

05. Installation
05.01. Mechanical Installation
To install the RA67 actuator, simply slip a 10mm pin
through the rear mounting hole and use two M10
screws to fasten the track to the moving part of your
assembly. The actuator should be installed so that
the force of the load is exerted on the center of the
axis of the actuator. Excessive off-center loads may
cause bending and lead to premature failure.
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 actua-
tor must be able to rotate around the pivot points, 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.
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.
Electrical Installation
• Voltage must be switched off when installing anc
connecting the actuator.
• Make sure that the power supply and the cables
can handle the maximum motor current.
• The electronic limit switches will automatically
switch off the actuator when the rod reaches the
ends of the stroke or if an excessive load occurs
mid-stroke.
• Connect the actuator using the right counterpart
connectors in your application.

CAUTION!
• Make sure the leads and cables leading to the
motor can handle the maximum motor current.
• For additional protection, use a fuse between the
actuator and the power source.
• Do not work on the actuator or the wiring with the
power switched on!
Hall Potentiometer position feedback
• The potentiometer may operate with voltages up
to 5 VDC. Do not use a higher voltage.
• Standard output: Analog output 0.3 - 3.0 VDC ±

06. Maintenance
The actuator is a closed unit and does not require
internal maintenance. In fact, the actuator is not to
be opened by unauthorized personnel. However,
some external maintenance must be performed on
a regular basis:
• Clean the actuator with a dry cloth to remove dust
and dirt.
• Inspect the actuator for mechanical damage or
wear.
• Inspect the actuator’s attachment points, cables,
rod ends, housing, and connector, and check that
the device works correctly.

ity of a REGNER® product, as well as its performance
in a variety of conditions, can only be verified by
testing, and it shall ultimately be the responsibility
of the customer using a REGNER® product.
REGNER® is solely responsible that REGNER® prod-
ucts comply with the established specifications,
whereas it remains the responsibility of the custom-
er to ensure that a specific REGNER® product can be
