Abstract
A length measuring instrument having a scale which can be scanned by a scanner device is provided. The scale is rotatably supported in an end region about the measurement axis X by a pivot bearing. The scanner device is guided on the scale so that rotations of the scanner device are transmitted to the scale. A length measuring instrument of this can be used especially advantageously in telescoping arms of a hexapod machine.
