Abstract

A positioning device comprising a bolt having a transducer and an optical waveguide fixed inside a guide sleeve mounted concentric with the longitudinal axis of the bolt. Supporting members on the bolt for the transducer and the guide sleeve are arranged in a spaced relation. The supporting member for the guide sleeve comprises a semi-cylindrical shell provided with an extended supporting arm on which the sleeve is mounted. A plate-shaped supporting member for the transducer is mounted in the shell. To achieve an improved separation of the heat-flow paths, slots are cut on opposite sides of the supporting arm into the shell.
