Abstract
This disclosure depicts a linear scale type displacement measuring device wherein the measuring device comprises a frame member connected to one of two bodies to be measured, a main scale held on the frame member and an index scale connected to the other of the two bodies, and a relative displacement between the two bodies is measured from a relative movement between the main scale and the index scale. A main scale holding member having two guide surfaces corresponding to two surfaces intersecting each other of the main scale is bondedly fixed at a predetermined pitch to the frame member in its longitudinal direction, and the main scale is bondedly fixed to the main scale holding member in a state of being urged against the guide surfaces of the main scale holding member by urging means utilizing a main scale engaging portion separately provided or formed on the main scale holding member itself. With this arrangement, irrespective of a bend and the like of the frame member, the main scale is held straightly and a difference in value of thermal expansion between the main scale and the frame member can be absorbed.
