Abstract: The present invention is an electronic height gauge utilizing new technology and includes a first column (Column 1) and a second column (Column 2), a display unit with a cover, a measuring scriber, a fixed capacitance sensor and a linear moving capacitance sensor. The fixed capacitance sensor is located on a flat surface on Column 1, flat surface having a length equivalent to the length of Column 1. The linear moving capacitance sensor is located inside the display unit cover positioned to face the fixed capacitance sensor. The fixed capacitive sensor and linear moving capacitive sensors are facing toward each other only, and do not make direct physical contact with the fixed capacitor sensor when the height gauge is operating in upward and downward movements. The fixed and moving capacitive sensors are instead making only electrical contact with each other when the height gauge is making upward and downward movements.
