         2 . Lifting/swiveling drive having a working element ( 2 ) which can move rotatably and linearly relative to at least one housing element ( 1 ), characterized in that the working element ( 2 ) is formed from at least one lifting element ( 3 ) and at least one rotational element ( 12 ), the lifting element ( 3 ) being decoupled relative to a rotative movement of the rotational element ( 12 ).  
     
     
         3 . Lifting/swiveling drive having a working element ( 2 ) which can move rotatably and linearly relative to at least one housing element ( 1 ), characterized in that the working element ( 2 ) is formed from at least one lifting element ( 3 ) and at least one rotational element ( 12 ), the rotational element ( 12 ) interacting with at least one rotational drive ( 15 ) and the lifting element ( 3 ) interacting with at least one linear drive ( 5 ).  
     
     
         4 . Lifting/swiveling drive having a working element ( 2 ) which can move rotatably and linearly relative to at least one housing element ( 1 ), characterized in that the working element ( 2 ) is formed from at least one lifting element ( 3 ) and at least one rotational element ( 12 ), the lifting element ( 3 ) and the rotational element ( 12 ) being rotatively decoupled and arranged linearly one behind the other or coaxially one in the other or at least partially parallel next to each other.  
     
     
         5 . Lifting/swiveling drive according to at least one of  claims 1  to  4 , characterized in that a measuring system ( 8 ) is assigned in each case to the working element ( 2 ), in particular to the lifting element ( 3 ) and rotational element ( 12 ).  
     
     
         6 . Lifting/swiveling drive according to at least one of  claims 3  to  5 , characterized in that the lifting element ( 3 ) adjoins the rotational element ( 12 ) in an axially moveable and radially rotationally fixed manner, the rotational element ( 12 ) being moveable within a rotational drive ( 15 ) rotatively relative to the lifting element ( 3 ) and the rotational drive ( 15 ) being fixed relative to the housing element ( 1 ,  16 ).  
     
     
         7 . Lifting/swiveling drive according to  claim 5  or  6 , characterized in that lifting element ( 3 ) and rotational element ( 12 ) are arranged one behind the other in a common axis (A) or next to each other in two parallel axes (A, B).
