A sensor arrangement, having at least one sensor ( ) which is able to be so attached to the outer face of a carrying part ( ) by means of an attachment means that the attachment means ( ) fits around the carrying part ( ) at least 180&deg; of its peripheral extent. The sensor ( ) is designed in the form of a non-separable, integral component of the attachment means ( ).

Sensor arrangement

A linear drive, which has a housing ( ) delimiting a receptacle ( ), in which the drive means ( ) are arranged and from which the force or power transmitting member ( ) extends, which cooperates with the drive means ( ). The drive means ( ) are a component of an electrical linear motor ( ) which as a cartridge-like unit ( ) is inserted is into the receptacle and secured in place in relation to the housing.

Linear drive

A set of independently usable linear drive, which include at least one fluid power and at least one electrical linear drive. The principal housing bodies of the linear drive are respectively provided with an elongated receiving space, in which fluid power drive means or electrical drive means are located dependent of the type of drive. As regards their outer shape the principal housing bodies at least essentially the same and their receiving spaces possesses the same cross sectional form. Accordingly on the basis of a large number of the identical component different types of linear drive may be produced.
