A device frequently incorrectly referred to as a reservoir which “regulate” Wind to the specific pressure required by the pipes on the chest it feeds.

A device for controlling the voltage of an electrical circuit.

A structure that controls the flow of wastewater from two or more input pipes (trunk lines) to a single output (usually a larger interceptor line). Regulators can be used to restrict or halt flow, thus causing wastewater to be stored in the conveyance system until it can be handled by the treatment plant.

A device to adjust incoming power so as to avoid overcharging a battery bank. In solar power, the regulator generally just turns the solar array off when the batteries are full. With a wind generator, the regulator generally diverts all or part of the incoming power to a Dump Load when the batteries fill, thus keeping a Load on the wind generator so it will not Freewheel.

The regulator is a device that regulates the fuel pressure of LPG or CNG to the mixer, an LPG regulator usually also contains a vaporizer for converting the liquid propane to gas.

In automatic control, a regulator is a device which has the function of maintaining a designated characteristic. It performs the activity of managing or maintaining a range of values, in a machine. The measurable property of a device is managed closely by specified conditions or an advance set value; or it can be a variable according to a predetermined arrangement scheme.

A regulator is used to speed up or slow down the beats of a timepiece, making the timing of a watch more exact.

Clock of great accuracy, thus sometimes used for controlling or checking other timepieces.

The regulator was first introduced in the early 18th century when demand arose for a timepiece more accurate than the average domestic clock. Over the years, the term "regulator" has been associated with many other styles of clocks. One of the best known examples is the Vienna Regulator, produced in Austria and Germany. These weight-driven wall clocks were usually very good timekeepers. At the height of mass production, clock manufacturers also introduced a variety of mass-produced "regulators" into the market. The most popular example is the Schoolhouse Regulator. These modest timekeepers were spring driven and lacking virtually all the characteristics of a traditional regulator or precision clock

The pendulum of a clock, which originally served the function of "regulating" a mechanical time keeping mechanism, is now a popular ornamental feature.

Regulating the functioning of a movement by lengthening and shortening the active section of the balance spring (s.). It is positioned on the balance-bridge and encompasses the balance spring with its two pins near its fixing point on the bridge itself. By shifting the index, the pins also are moved and, by consequence, the portion of the balance spring capable of bringing the balance back is lengthened or shortened by its elastic force. The shorter it is, the more reactive it tends to be and the more rapidly it brings the balance back and makes the movement run faster. The contrary happens when the active portion of the balance spring is lengthened. Given today's high frequencies of functioning, even slight index shifts entail daily variations of minutes. Recently, even more refined index-regulation systems were adopted (from eccentric (s.) to micrometer screws (s.)) to limit error margins to very few seconds per day.
