1. On One Hand: Most Are Mechanical
A standard gas pressure regulator is made up of springs and rubber diaphragms, according to
GlobalSpec, an engineering database. The regulator responds to pressure mechanically, by
physically pressing against the springs and diaphragms, causing them to move and open or
close valves. This description can also be found in the technical papers of many companies
selling gas regulators.

2. On the Other: Some Are Electrical
Electrical gas regulators are also available. The library of Oklahoma State University has
descriptions of gas pressure regulators that run on electrical parts, where the valve is
operated by a solenoid instead of a spring.

3. Bottom Line
The vast majority of technical data sheets from gas regulator manufacturers such as
Fisher Regulators describe exclusively mechanical regulators. Examples of electrical
regulators are few and far between. Gas regulators are almost all mechanical.
