Position-indicating device for a support element

Abstract

A position-indicating device for indicating the movement of a portion of a support element which is movable relative to a fixed portion, the support element being, more particularly, a spring hanger or constant hanger, a snubber, a vibration damper and/or an articulated-connection strut, the position-indicating device comprising: a mechanical movement-transmitting apparatus for transmitting the movement of the movable portion of the support element; an indicating apparatus for coupling to the movement-transmitting apparatus and for indicating the movement of the movable portion of the support element, wherein the indicating apparatus has a hollow cylinder and a driver element, which is movably mounted in the hollow cylinder and is coupled to the movement-transmitting apparatus with respect to movement, and wherein the hollow cylinder comprises a longitudinal slot, in which a transverse pin running radially outward extends, the transverse pin being moved along with driver element and being designed to move at least one extreme-value indicator, which extreme-value indicator is disposed radially outside with respect to the hollow cylinder. A support apparatus coupled to a position-indicating device of this type with respect to movement.
