Abstract: Holding device for a piston position detector, contained in a casing and being displaceably mounted on the outside of a fluid pressure cylinder. The holding device consists essentially of a U-shaped yoke being displaceable along two mutually parallel guides and being lockable in a desired axial position. The yoke is locked by means of a first fastening screw, whereas the casing is insertable between the shanks of the yoke and is lockable in inserted position by means of a second fastening screw. The casing is protected by the yoke and is detachable from the latter, also when the yoke is located to the guides.

Abstract: A fastening device for actuating cylinders with longitudinal stringers extending axially along a cylinder tube. A fastening yoke, e.g. comprising two halves is clampable with the aid of at least one clamping screw for fixing it in a desired axial position along the cylinder tube. In accordance with the invention the opposing clamping portions of the fastening yoke act on two intermediate clamping blocks which are thus pivoted in opposite directions, so that clamping is achieved exclusively against the inner and outer side portions and whereby internal deformation of the cylinder tube is prevented.
