1. Device for positioning, holding or gripping of pieces of automobile body work, the device comprising a mechanism movable at least partially in translation and an electrical actuating means (2, 32), wherein the mechanism is mounted adjacent to the electrical actuating means (2, 32) and the longitudinal axis of the electrical actuating means is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mechanism, so as to reduce the size of the body (1, 31) of the device, wherein the electrical actuating means is an electrical motor (2, 32) of which one shaft end carries a pinion (9) engaging with a toothed wheel (10, 33) connected to said mechanism, wherein the toothed wheel (10, 33) connected to said mechanism is mounted on two bearings (11, 13; 44, 45) disposed on opposite sides of the toothed wheel (10, 33), wherein the mechanism and the electrical motor (2, 32) are received in a body (1) comprising an upper mounting surface (1a) and a lower plate (1b) or block; wherein the electrical motor (2, 32) and the mechanism are mounted below the upper surface (1a); the pinion (9) and the toothed wheel (10, 33) are mounted near the lower plate (1b) or block; and wherein the actuating assembly (3) of the mechanism comprises a threaded rod (4) secured to an enlarged portion (11) integral with the toothed wheel (10). 2. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the electrical actuating means is an electrical motor (2, 32) adapted to drive in rotation an actuating portion (4, 34) permitting transforming a rotative movement into a translatory movement. 3. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the device comprises a means (20) for manual unblocking, acting on the mechanism. 4. Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the electrical actuating means (2, 32) coacts with at least one control card (22, 23, 24) adapted to be secured to the device. 5. Device according to claim 4, comprising moreover at least one housing (21) containing at least one said control card (22, 23, 24) coacting with the electrical actuating means (2, 32). 6. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the mechanism movable at least partially in translation comprises a portion blocked in rotation and movable in translation by screwing or unscrewing, the portion having a shape coacting with the threaded rod (4) driven in rotation by the electrical actuating means (2, 32). 7. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that said mechanism is a positioning mechanism. 8. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that said mechanism is a holding mechanism. 9. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that said mechanism is a gripping mechanism. 10. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the device comprises a means (43) for manual unblocking, acting on the electrical actuating means.
