A cylinder includes a piston moving in a cylinder housing fastened to a cylinder rod and rotatable about a cylinder longitudinal axis, and a position sensor comprising a sensor magnet and a sensor element, which interacts with the sensor magnet and which is configured to detect a cylinder rod position relative to the cylinder housing. The sensor magnet is fastened on the cylinder rod rotatably with respect to the cylinder rod and is guided non-rotatably with respect to the cylinder housing.

Cylinder

A pneumatic component includes a cylinder, a piston running in the cylinder, and a grooved ring. The grooved ring seals the piston from the cylinder, and has a static side and a dynamic side. The static side of the grooved ring has at least two concentric microlips.

Pneumatic component

A position measuring apparatus includes at least one bearing, a rod of magnetizable material guided in the at least one bearing, a linear magnetic field sensor, and a magnet disposed next to the linear magnetic field sensor. The rod includes a cutout, and the magnet is arranged in the cutout within an enveloping cylinder lateral surface around the rod.
