Claim 7:
8. A method for determining a position of a component of a linear actuator for a steer-by-wire system, the method comprising:
moving the component along a linear trajectory, and
determining the position of the component by a measuring device which comprises a coil for inductively determining the position of the component, the coil is arranged coaxially relative to the linear trajectory of the component, arranged on a coil carrier and within a hollow cylindrical receiving region of the coil carrier, and arranged within a housing of the linear actuator;
wherein the coil carrier includes a fastening region for fastening the coil carrier in a recess of the housing which encloses the trajectory of the component, the recess and at least a portion of the fastening region being radially outward of the coil.
