Original Abstract Submitted
A detection device is for detecting a position of a piston in a cylinder barrel and/or for detecting a strain on the cylinder barrel. The cylinder barrel includes a strain gauge. The detection device includes a reading interface configured to read a strain gauge signal from the strain gauge and an evaluation unit configured to evaluate the position of the piston and/or the strain on the cylinder barrel using the strain gauge signal.
