A positioning device for positioning a positioning element has a motor () that drives the positioning element () and has a measuring device that directly measures the positioning travel of the positioning element for controlling the motor (). For this, a traction cable () is joined to the positioning element and is wound onto a drum (). For measuring the positioning travel of the positioning element, the rotational position of the drum () is measured by means of an encoder ().

Positioning device

An adjusting device has a carriage, at least one guide element, on which the carriage is mounted such that it can be moved, a shifting device for moving the carriage, and a securing mechanism for securing the carriage in a desired position. To provide an improved adjusting device, which has more compact construction and enables a simpler and more precise adjustment without additional contrivances, the shifting device has an electric motor, which is integrated in the carriage, and the securing mechanism blocks any movement of the carriage when the motor stands still and is automatically released when the motor starts running.
