Regleringsbärare

Regleringsbärare is a Swedish term used in engineering and process control to describe a carrier or framework that supports, organizes, or conveys regulation-related components, signals, or media. It is not a single standardized part, but a generic label that can refer to different kinds of carriers depending on the context.

In practice, a regleringsbärare often means a mounting structure such as a rail, frame, or manifold that carries regulating devices (valves, controllers, sensors) and their wiring or tubing. The carrier provides mechanical support, correct alignment, protection, and a clear routing for control signals, media lines, or feedback paths. It can also function as an integration platform where multiple regulation elements are assembled into a single, maintainable unit.

Domains where the term is commonly encountered include mechanical and electrical engineering, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and building or process automation. In hydraulic or pneumatic installations, a regleringsbärare may be a valve manifold or mounting block that distributes regulated pressure or flow to actuators. In electrical control systems, it can refer to the mounting framework for regulation electronics, such as PID controllers and I/O modules, on standard backplanes or rails.

Etymology: reglering means regulation, and bärare means carrier or bearer. The term is primarily used in Swedish-language manuals, standards, and technical discussions, and its exact meaning is determined by the specific regulatory and system context.
