Engineering (general)
Bei rücksteuerbaren Reglern folgt der Ausgangsdruck der Einstellung des Einstellknopfes.
Bei nicht rücksteuerbaren Reglern muß der Ausgangsdruck über den Volumenstrom abgebaut werden.
The text refers to a Drückluftsteuerung. Ernst has "revertive control" for rücksteuerbar. But there are not that many Google matches, and for "non-revertive control" or "without revertive control" there are no matches at all. Are there a more common terms (that could preferably also be used as adjectives)?
Thanks for any suggestions!

feedback (-capable) / non-feedback
Personally I'd omit the 'capable' (which is a literal transation).
Another alternative is 'closed-loop' / 'open-loop'.
Incidentally, in conventional usage a Regler is by definition part of a closed-loop (feedback) control system, so 'nicht-rücksterbarer Regler' is a misuse of the term.

Comment: "This fits, however, I found more common terms on the sites of manufacturer's of similar stuff, namely "self-relieving" and "non-relieving". But as the feedback aspect led me to those sites, you truly deserve the points :-) Thanks also to everyone else who contributed/commented!"
