Abstract: What is described is a length measurement system and method for measuring relative movements between first and second machine parts, said measurement system comprising a sensing head and a rule sensed by it, said sensing head being securely mountable on the first machine part and said rule being connectable with the second machine part during final assembly of the length measurement system, wherein the rule is mounted within a profiled part which is securely mountable on the second machine part in final assembly and into which the sensing head protrudes, said sensing head being preadjusted, via a removable mounting element, and being releasably connected with said profiled part, in a state prepared for final assembly, or said sensing head, when finally assembled, protruding into the profiled part without being supported thereon.

Abstract: What is described is a pre-mounting system for pre-mounting a structural part to an attachment surface, wherein at least two heads, respectively provided as eccentrics, are provided at the attachment surface, the structural part comprises at least one recess and can be hung up on the attachment surface by said heads engaging said recess/recesses.

Abstract: What is described is a structural part comprising a mounting surface (M) for mounting the mounting surface to an attachment surface, wherein means for adhesive-bonding the mounting surface (M) with the attachment surface are provided, in order to glue the structural part to the attachment surface, and wherein spacers are provided on the mounting surface (M), said spacers causing a predetermined gap (S) between the mounting surface (M) and the attachment surface when attaching the structural part to the attachment surface and being removable and/or deformable by pressing the structural part onto the attachment surface.

Abstract: A length measuring probe that includes a base body, a guide element and a probe pin having a touch scanning element for touch scanning a measuring object, the probe pin is seated, displaceable in relation to the base body in a measuring direction opposite a spring force F via the guide element. A detection device detects a position of the probe pin with respect to the base body and a first spring element and a second spring element arranged behind the first spring element in the measuring direction so as to prestress the probe pin. The guide element is arranged between the first and second spring elements, on which facing end areas of the first and second spring elements are fixed in place, and wherein the at least one guide element is seated, displaceable in the measuring direction, on the probe pin and on the base body.

Abstract: A linear measuring device including a housing fastened to a first machine element and a scale within the housing, wherein the scale is fastened extending along the housing in a measuring direction. A scanning device for scanning a scale. A linear guide device including a guide rail, which is rigidly assigned to the housing; and a guide carriage, which is guided on the guide rail along the housing in the measuring direction, and includes a fastener to fasten the guide carriage rigidly on a second machine element. The housing is structured so that during measuring operations it is deflected perpendicular to the measuring direction, so that in the course of movement of the guide carriage in a direction perpendicular to the measuring direction the housing is taken along in the direction perpendicular to the measuring direction.

Abstract: A method for the directional attachment of a scale element of a position measuring system to an installation face of a first body. The method includes aligning a scale element on an installation face of a first body parallel to a measuring direction via an adjustment device provided on a second body, which has a scanning head provided thereon and is movable in the measuring direction in relation to the first body. Attaching the aligned scale element to the installation face, wherein the adjustment device is in an alignment position with respect to the second body during the attaching. Positioning the adjustment device into a position of rest with respect to the second body subsequent to the attaching, wherein the position of rest is different from the alignment position.

Abstract: An angular encoder including a tensible tape scale having a scannable graduation and designed for taking circular angular measurements; and a tensioning device connected with one or both ends of the tape scale for tensioning the tape scale to adjustably position the one or both ends and having an actuation member, and a transmission mechanism for connecting the actuation member with one or both end(s) of the tape scale so that displacement of the actuation member results in a predetermined change of a position of the one or both ends of the tape scale determined by a transmission ratio of the transmission mechanism.

Abstract: A position measuring device having a graduated scale carrier member which is secured to a holder is described. The graduated scale carrier member is secured to the bottom side of the holder, so as to float over a viscous liquid film. The holder, in turn, is elastically supported on a mount. The measuring graduation marking is scanned through the holder, which is preferably made of transparent glass.
