04.07. Overcurrent protection
Standard protection
In the event of an obstruction in the mechanism
or an excessive load, the overcurrent protection
feature will trip out the current thereby protecting
the actuator.
Actuator with Electronic Limit Switches (ELS)
Additionally, when the actuator arrives to its fully
extended or fully retracted positions, an electric limit
switch automatically trips out the current, preven-
ting the motor from any damage. In both stroke
endpoints, the actuator will only move in the opposi-
te direction. When it is separated from either of its
endpoints, it resumes its normal function, being able
to move freely in either direction.
05. Installation
05.01. Mechanical mounting
REGNER® actuators can be easy installed by slipping
pins through the holes on each end. Mounting pins
must be parallel to each other, otherwise actuator
may bend and result in damage.
It is recommended to install the actuator so the force
of the load acts in the center of the extension tube
and the rear end. Excessive off-centre loads may
cause bending and lead to premature failure.
RECOMMENDED OTHER OTHER
Make sure the mounting pins are supported in both
ends and the pins are solid and without excessive
free play to prevent premature wear. However, the
actuator must rotate around the pivot point in the
front and rear end, this will allow the actuator to
move freely over the full stroke length, both during
the development and daily operation. Check the
area around the housing and make sure no parts can
be trapped and cause damage to the application
and actuator.

CAUTION!
Mechanical mounting precautions:
• The mounting pins must have the correct
dimension.
• The bolts and nuts must be made of a high
quality steel grade.
• No excessive free play in the pins.
• Do not use an excessive torque on the mounting
bolts to prevent from stressing the fixtures.
CAUTION!
The piston rod eye is only allowed to turn 0-90
degrees. It is not permitted to make excessive turns
on the piston rod.
WARNING!
If the actuator is used for pull in an application
where personal injury can occur, the following
is valid: It is the application manufacturer’s
responsibility to incorporate a suitable safety
arrangement, which will prevent personal in-
jury from occurring if the actuator should fail.
WARNING!
REGNER®’s actuators are not designed to be
used in the following applications: aircrafts and
aerospace, explosive environments, nuclear power
generation and offshore installations.
05.02. Electrical installation
Standard Actuator
• The actuator voltage must be switched off when
reaching the ends of stroke or during a mid-stroke
overload to avoid causing damage to the actuator.
• Make sure that the switch can handle the maximum
motor current.
Actuator with Electronic Limit Switches (ELS)
• The actuator will automatically switch off when
reaching the ends of stroke or if a mid-stroke
overload occurs.

RA MINI IN-LINE ACTUATOR SERIES

CAUTION!
Electric installation precautions:
• Make sure the leads/cables leading to the motor
can handle the maximum motor current.
• To increase the actuator’s protection use a fuse
between the actuator and the power source.
• Never work on the actuator or the wiring with
the power switched on!
Wire cross sections
To avoid malfunction due to voltage drop, the cross
section of the wires between the actuator motor and
the power source must be of sufficient size to avoid
voltage loss.
06. Maintenance
The actuator is a closed unit and requires no internal
maintenance. Furthermore, actuator is not to be
opened by unauthorised personnel. However, some
external maintenance must be performed:
• The actuator must be cleaned at regular intervals
with a dry cloth to remove dust and dirt, and
inspected for mechanical damages or wear.
• Inspect attachment points, cables, rod ends,
housing and connector, as well as check that the
actuator functions correctly.

08. Application policy
The purpose of the application policy is to define
areas of responsibilities in relation to applying a
REGNER® product related to a customer application.
REGNER® products are applicable for a wide range of
applications (including healthcare, household equi-
pment, and industrial areas). REGNER® cannot know
and check all the conditions under which REGNER®
products will be installed and used. So the suitability
and functionality of the REGNER® product and its
performance under different conditions can only be
verified by testing, and shall ultimately be the
responsibility of the REGNER® customer using any
REGNER® product.
REGNER® shall be responsible solely that REGNER®
products comply with the specifications set out
by REGNER® and it shall be the responsibility of
the REGNER® customer to ensure that the specific
REGNER® product can be used for the application in
question.
