A machining unit for a machine tool and machine tool having such a machining unit comprises a head carrier that is attached to the machine tool, a pivot head held on the head carrier in such a way that the pivot head can be pivoted about a pivot axis, a working spindle, which is arranged on the pivot head and has a spindle axis that is tilted in relation to the pivot axis, a spindle motor, which is arranged in the head carrier and has a drive shaft arranged parallel to the pivot axis, and a drive transmission for transmitting the rotational motion of the drive shaft of the spindle motor to the working spindle, wherein the drive transmission has a transmission stage that can be shifted. The pivot head has a shifting transmission shaft that is oriented coaxially to the pivot axis of the pivot head, wherein the transmission stage that can be shifted has a hollow shaft movably supported on the shifting transmission shaft of the pivot head.

A position measuring device for use on a machine tool includes a scale section that can be scanned by way of a scanner device and serves to detect a position of a first component of the machine tool in relation to a second component of the machine tool, which is movable in relation to the first component, when the scale section is arranged on the first component and the scanner device is arranged on the second component, and at least one holding element as a constituent of an indirect attachment for indirectly attaching the scale section to the first component of the machine tool. A material of the at least one holding element has a thermal expansion coefficient that is less than a thermal expansion coefficient of a material of the first component of the machine tool.
