Abstract
The invention relates to a bearing device having a position indicator, comprising a bearing receptacle (2) and a bearing (3) disposed in the bearing receptacle (2) having a first bearing part (4) displaceable relative to the bearing receptacle (2), wherein the position indicator (6) comprises a potentiometer having a resistor circuit (8) and a position finger (7). The aim of providing a bearing device having a position indicator allowing reliable capture of the relative position of the bearing in the bearing device and capture of the position of the bearing parts of the bearing to each other in a simple manner is achieved according to the invention in that the resistor circuit (8) is associated with the bearing receptacle (2) and first bearing part, and that the position finger (7) is associated with the bearing receptacle and first bearing part (4).
