Abstract
A device (1) for providing a working means (2) with a linear movement during simultaneous energy and/or signal supply over a supply conduit or conduit(s) (10,18), includes a linear motor (3,4), an elongated rod means (16) onto which the working means (2) is arranged. The invention is distinguished by the linear motor being of a kind including a movement transferring means extending radially sideways from the motor, and being connected to the rod means, that the rod means (16) comprises a longitudinal channel for the reception of said supply conduit, and that a linear guide (8) for the rod means (16) is fixedly attached to the linear motor.
