The present invention relates to a galvanic element, in particular an element of the button cell type, which has a long service life even when there are high mechanical or thermal loads. At least one structural element of the micromechanical structure of the first MEMS element is deflectable, and the first MEMS element is mounted on the processed front side of the ASIC element such that a gap exists between the micromechanical structure and the ASIC element. The exhaust tube system also includes a center brace having dimensions which span the length and height of the sideways openings. Information about the type and time of potential parts shortages allow the logistics provider to take action to prevent shortages entirely or minimize their impact on production. Devices and software programs embodying the invention are also described. The drive unit 40 can be designed on the constructional basis of a diaphragm cylinder 42 or on the basis of a piston cylinder.
