Abstract
A safety device comprises a main body that extends along a longitudinal axis, a first coupling portion and a second coupling portion, and a first sleeve and a second sleeve. The first and second sleeves are arranged on the main body so as to be movable along the longitudinal axis. The first and second sleeves and the main body are selectively movable into a position in which at least one of the first sleeve or the second sleeve cover the associated first coupling portion and second coupling portion. The covering sleeve can be locked in that position. An arrangement comprising a control head and a drive with the safety device and a method for arranging the drive and the safety device are also described.
