Abstract: The invention is based on a pressure-medium cylinder having a piston which has a piston rod, and having a measuring system for determining the absolute position of the piston rod relative to a reference point. Firstly, the measuring system has a code track of binary code elements which is applied to the piston rod and runs along the piston rod, which code elements are formed by grooves and plateaus which run in the circumferential direction in a magnetically conductive base material, which is coated with a protective layer, of the piston rod, and, secondly, the measuring system has a sensor which is in a fixed position relative to the reference point and has two or more sensor elements, which are arranged along the code track and each scan a limited number of code elements. The desired aim for a pressure-medium cylinder of this generic type and according to the invention can be achieved in that the code elements in the code track on the piston rod are arranged in an irregular pattern, which in each case produces a unique pattern of the output signals from the sensor elements for different positions of the piston rod, and in that the grooves and plateaus in the piston rod form, at least in wide areas, a Manchester Code, in which at most two code elements of the same state follow one another. The use of a Manchester Code ensures that the diameter of the base material of the piston rod, determined over limited sections, is essentially the same over the entire length of the code track.

Abstract: An array of photo detectors or a ground glass is employed in concert with a beam-forming reflector to generate a positional error(s) as the light source is displaced from a reference location in the vertical plane. The beam is formed by means of a small hole through the reflector on its optical axis. These error signals are interpreted visually or introduced into electronic servo loops to mechanically drive the lamp assembly to an on-axis reference location. Provision is made to move the reflector along the optical axis to achieve co alignment of the reflected image of the arc source with its direct image.
