A piston-cylinder assembly includes a cylinder, in which a piston rod with a piston is guided axially by a piston rod guide. A distance detection system is used to determine the position of the piston in the cylinder. The distance detection system includes a sensor and a transmitter. The sensor is mounted on the piston or on the bottom of the cylinder. Upon axial displacement of the piston, the transmitter travels a distance different from that traveled by the piston, the difference between the two distances being used to determine the position of the piston.
