ARRANGEMENT USING FLUID TECHNOLOGY AND VALVE ARRANGEMENT AND ACTUATOR FOR THE SAME

A fluid power arrangement and valve arrangement (12) with an actuator (10) for it. The actuator (10) is able to be operate by means of the valve arrangement (12) via at least one first and first second fluid line (13 and 14) using fluid power, at least one electrical component (37, 38 and 46), adapted for connection with a control module (39 and 61), being arranged on the actuator (10). In this case there is a provision such that the valve arrangement (12) and the actuator (10) are connected together by way of two electrical connections (28 and 29) included in the fluid lines (13 and 14), by way of which fluid lines the valve arrangement (12) supplies the actuator (10) with electrical energy and furthermore the actuator (10) and the valve arrangement (12) are provided respectively with signal producing and/or signal detecting means (41 and 44) for establishing an signal connection (SV) between the at least one electrical component (37,38 and 39) and the control module (39 and 61) by way of and the second electrical connection (28 and 29).
