A rectifier usually means a (set of) electronic components that turns AC into DC, which you need to charge a battery for instance. A regulator - well, it regulates something. Considering the category the question is posted in I'd say it regulates the charging of the battery and/or the output voltage of the rectifier.
What else can I help you with?
Are the rectifier and regulator the same unit on a 1980 Honda 650 motorcycle?
Basically yes- It uses a rectifier in place of a regulator
Where is the rectifier on a Chevy Blazer?
Inside the voltage regulator on the alternator.
Where does the voltage regulator mount on a 1987 Honda shadow VT700?
The voltage regulator/rectifier is mounted on the battery case.
What all uses a KBG SH633A-12 regulator rectifier?

Where is the regulator in a 50cc four stroke scooter?
The regulator/rectifier is usually at the front of the scooter. You should see it after removing the panel with the headlights.
Where is the rectifier on a vstar 1100 custom?
The rectifier-regulator on a 2000 vstar 1100 classic is located on the right side of the bike. On the rear of the engine there is a large chrome cover the rectifier is behind this cover.
How do you test a rectifier for Harley Davidson motorcycle?
check for stator AC output first, check specs for your year, that has to work properly under load to go any further, then check for 12.75-13.50 VDC at the battery with it running, if it tests OK at the stator plug and shows battery voltage dropping instead of climbing at fast idle, suspect the rectifier/regulator It is impossible to test the rectifier, but it is built into the regulator/rectifier and you can test the regulator. Buy a manual!
1980 Honda 650 motorcycle is overcharging and the rectifier has already been changed what else could be wrong?
could be a regulator if it is separate from rectifier, could be a faulty rectifier (ive had a new faulty one)
What is a regulator on a motorcycle?
A regulator is referring to a regulator rectifier which converts the ac voltage put out by the stator to dc voltage and regulates it to a consistent voltage usually 12-14 volts dc.
Were do you put the regulator rectifier on a 1986 virago 1100?
behind the left side passenger footpeg
Where is the regulator rectifier on a 2002 Suzuki 300 king Quad?
check under the front fenders
Where is the voltage regulator located on 88 Mazda 323 1.6 injection non turbo?
To the best of my knowledge, both the bridge rectifier and the voltage regulator are integrated into the alternator... I recently bought a refurbished alternator and the spec sheet referred to things like ripple current verification (bridge rectifier) and like regulator voltage verification which imply that both of these blocks are part of the regulator...
