Abstract
The housing of a position measuring arrangement is fastened over length balancing elements to a first object such as a slide of a machine tool. A measurement embodiment is mounted over a highly elastic adhesive layer on an inner surface of the housing and is scanned by a scanning arrangement. In order to achieve a low-vibration fastening of the housing, it is supported in supporting zones formed between side surfaces of the housing and the exterior surface of the slide. The free length expansion between the housing and the slide is ensured by providing an elastic adhesive layer in the supporting zone.
