A securing system for transporting and mounting a measuring instrument for the determination of a position of two components which are movable in relation to each other. The securing system including a securing device and a support body having a guide track and supporting a linearly extending measuring graduation. The securing device includes a base body, which is longitudinally displaceable along the guide track of the support body and can be fixed in place on the support body by clamping forces in order to maintain the mounting base in a desired position in regard to the support body. The securing device further includes a clamping element pivotably seated on the base body about a pivot axis, which has an eccentric surface, which is embodied to be eccentric with respect to the pivot axis, and that, by pivoting the clamping element, the eccentric surface can be brought into engagement with the support body in such a way that, in the course of pivoting of the clamping element, the base body is fixed in place on the support body and can be brought into a state in which it is displaceably seated on the support body.

Securing device for transporting and mounting a measurement instrument

A position measuring system for determining the position of a first structural component and a second structural component. The position measuring system includes a first support for receiving a first position measuring device, which is set up and provided for being fastened to the first structural component and a second support for receiving a second position measuring device, which is set up and provided for being fastened to the second structural component. The position measuring system further includes a first connector that fastens the first support to the first structural component and a second connector that fastens the second support to the second structural component, wherein the second connector includes a nut, with which a screw can be brought into engagement, wherein the nut is inserted into a recess of the second support. The position measuring system further includes a blocking element which, in an inserted state, works together with the nut in order to prevent a movement of the nut out of the recess in an axial direction, which is the direction of insertion of said screw into said nut, sufficiently far so that insertion of the screw into the nut is made possible.

Position measuring system

An angular position measuring device includes a cap, a connecting cable and a spring element which is arranged on the cap. To fix the connecting cable in position, the spring element is able to generate a force which has a radial directional component with respect to the connecting cable, the connecting cable being pressed against the cap by this force. In this manner, the connecting cable is secured with form locking and/or frictional engagement on the cap in a contact area of the cap.
