Abstract
Actuating cylinder including a longitudinal cylinder body, a longitudinal cylinder rod traversing a front transverse wall of the cylinder body and a longitudinal means of operating the cylinder rod relative to the cylinder body, the cylinder body including a rear transverse wall situated at a distance from a rear end of the cylinder rod inside the body. The cylinder includes a sensor supported by a front end portion of the cylinder rod; longitudinally deformable linking means to delimit a longitudinal channel of variable length coupling the front end portion of the cylinder rod and the rear transverse wall of the cylinder body and emerging at the rear of this rear transverse wall; and at least one electric connecting wire which is connected to the sensor, which extends in the longitudinal channel and which emerges via the rear end of this longitudinal channel.
