<p>The invention relates to a potentiometer device for a hydraulic cylinder (11) for example. On the inside of a tube (10) there are, evenly distributed about the circumference and parallel to its axis, two conductors and a linear resistance in the form of strips. This tube (10) is mounted inside the piston rod (14) and is open at the piston (13). The conductors are joined to opposite ends of the linear resistance, and the tube (10) is movable together with the piston (13). A stationary contact holder (15) is attached to a tube (16) fastened in the end of the cylinder opposite to where the piston rod emerges. Said contact holder has three leads (4, 5, 6) drawn through the hydraulic cylinder (11) and being attached to individual slide contacts in the contact holder (15) making contact with the respective conductors and the linear resistance.</p> |
