Abstract: A scanning unit, by which a scale, which is movable in relation to the scanning unit in a measuring direction, can be optically scanned. The scanning unit including a detector arrangement and a transparent support having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the detector arrangement is arranged on the second surface. The scanning unit further including a transparent cover plate, which is fastened on the first surface of the transparent support and includes a shielding device for shielding the detector arrangement against electromagnetic fields.

Abstract: An encapsulated measuring device for detecting a velocity and/or acceleration of a rotationally or linearly moved component. The device includes a measuring device housing having a wall, and a scanning unit arranged in the housing, the scanning unit including a scanning head in the form of a Ferraris sensor, and wherein an eddy current body of the Ferraris sensor includes at least a portion of the wall of the measuring device housing.

Abstract: A mounting aid for the alignment of a first graduation support in relation to a second graduation support of a position measuring system, the mounting aid including a spacer, which specifies a preset scanning distance between a first measuring graduation of the first graduation support and a second measuring graduation of the second graduation support. The mounting aid further including a connector having a structure to positively engage the first graduation support, wherein the connector is released from engagement with the first graduation support by displacing the connector with respect to the first graduation support and a protective cover that covers the measuring graduation.

Abstract: In combination with a hydraulic step motor comprising a servo-valve having a rotary valve member and a housing surrounding this member. The rotary valve member is provided with two fluid manifolds conjointly movable therewith. Two main conduits communicating with a source of fluid under pressure provide passage for the fluid to the servo-valve and to the fluid manifolds.A drivable shaft of the step motor is connected to the servo-valve rotary member to drive same. The rotary valve member comprises a plurality of primary positioning projections and of secondary sealing projections alternately spaced from one another and uniformly distributed around the periphery of the rotary valve member. Between the adjacent projection gaps are formed which are alternatively connected with one and the other of the fluid manifolds. Fluid channels provided in the wall of the housing open towards the periphery of the rotary valve member.
