  • Patent number: 6951104
    Abstract: A hydraulic piston-and-cylinder arrangement has a piston to which a signal element is assigned and which is accepted movably in a longitudinal direction in a cylinder housing, at which a position sensor is secured, by means of which an axial position of the signal element and therefore of the piston in the cylinder housing can be sensed. The signal element is fitted to the piston by means of a holding cap. As a result, a hydraulic piston-and-cylinder arrangement with a device for sensing the piston position is created, in which the signal element of the sensing device, which signal element operates in conjunction with the position sensor on the cylinder housing, can be fixed in a simple manner on the piston, which also permits a sizing of the signal element largely independent of the piston geometry.
