An assembly comprises a support including a plurality of individual sections. A scale is disposed on the support. The scale extends in a longitudinal direction and has a measuring graduation for position measurement at least in the longitudinal direction. A plurality of fastening devices are configured to fasten the scale to the support. The fastening devices are disposed on the individual sections of the support.

Assembly for position measurement

A length-measuring device includes a scale and a mounting element. The mounting element has a first fastening portion by which the mounting element is stationarily attached to the scale and a second fastening portion configured to be stationarily attached to a support. An arrangement of a plurality of flexible struts is provided between the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion which, through flexure, allows the first fastening portion to move relative to the second fastening portion perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction. The arrangement of struts is configured to compensate for a flexure-induced change in length of the struts in such a way that no movement will result from the flexure-induced change in length between the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion in the longitudinal direction.

Length-measuring device

A holding device for a scale including a support body, a first solid body link and a second body link. The first solid body link acts as a connection between a first longitudinal side of a scale and the support body, via which the scale can be seated, shiftable in a measuring direction, on the support body. The second solid body link acts as a connection between a second longitudinal side of the scale and the support body, via which the scale can be seated, shiftable in the measuring direction, on the support body, wherein the second longitudinal side and the first longitudinal side are arranged opposite each other.

Mount for a scale

A scale is attached to a carrier by optically contacting. The optically contacting bonds are formed by raised surface regions of the scale set apart from each other. Additional measures, such as the provision of adhesive surfaces, provide a rigid and vibration-resistant joint.
