Abstract: A connection union for a fluid line (11) containing a fluid duct (14) has at least one signal conductor (16a and 16b) in the wall (15) of the fluid line (11) for the transmission of electrical and/or optical signal. The connection union a fluid line socket (23) and a holding device (25) for the fluid line (11) and at least one signal contact (31a; 31b) for the production of a connection with the at least one signal conductor (16a and 16b). The at least one signal contact (31a; 31b) is able to be slid in the insertion direction (28) of the fluid line (11; 68 through 71) and is provided with spring means (37) so that during a longitudinal movement of the fluid line (11) mounted on the connection union (10) the at least one signal contact (31a; 31b) remains connected with the at least one signal conductor (16a and 16b). Moreover the invention contemplates a suitable fluid line (11) and a fluid power means belonging to it.

Abstract: A connection member for a fluid line (2) defining a fluid duct (5) with stranded signal conductors (7a and 7b) in the wall (4) thereof for the transmission of electrical signals. The connection member has a female socket into which the fluid line (2) may be inserted and in which at least one signal contact (26a and 26b) is arranged, which at the end may stick into the at least one signal conductor (7a and 7b). The penetrating part (27) is constituted by a knife edge (27a) whose width is equal to the diameter of the signal conductor (7a and 7b) to be contacted and which splits the signal conductor 7a and 7b) on penetration from the end into an outer and an inner line limb.

Abstract: A connector for a fluid line defines therein a fluid duct and whose wall has at least one signal conductor for the transmission of electrical and/or optical signals. The connector comprises a plug socket for the fluid line, a holding device for holding the fluid line in the mounted condition thereof and at least one signal switch contact for producing a connection with the at least one signal conductor. The at the plug socket the fluid line is provided with a guide means for angularly aligned arrangement of the fluid line, such guide means being able to be introduced into the at least one fluid duct and in the case of such introduction it slides along at least one angular encoding means arranged in the at least one fluid duct so that the fluid duct is able to be brought into a predetermined angular position prior to contact being made between the at least one signal switch contact and the at least one signal conductor.
