Abstract
A cylinder tube of a cylinder has an outer periphery, as taken in the circumferential direction thereof but excepting the upright surface thereof, comprising: surfaces curved convexly outward, and first to third chamfered portions, and a casing of a position detecting sensor to be mounted on the cylinder has an outer periphery formed of surfaces curved convexly outward and a chamfered portion, thereby it is possible to prevent a liquid from being trapped on the outer surface for avoiding the sanitary problem.
