Abstract: A lifting table contains a linear drive. The linear drive has a housing, a drive with an electric motor arranged outside the housing, and a linear unit arranged in the housing. In addition, a sensor device for determining a force acting on the linear drive is provided. The sensor device has a stress body, which is configured to axially support a drive-side end of the linear unit and on the inner or outer surface of which there is arranged a load sensor assembly for detecting a mechanical stress of the stress body.
