Abstract
A position measuring system for determining the position of a first structural component and a second structural component. The position measuring system includes a first support for receiving a first position measuring device, which is set up and provided for being fastened to the first structural component and a second support for receiving a second position measuring device, which is set up and provided for being fastened to the second structural component. The position measuring system further includes a first connector that fastens the first support to the first structural component and a second connector that fastens the second support to the second structural component, wherein the second connector includes a nut, with which a screw can be brought into engagement, wherein the nut is inserted into a recess of the second support. The position measuring system further includes a blocking element which, in an inserted state, works together with the nut in order to prevent a movement of the nut out of the recess in an axial direction, which is the direction of insertion of said screw into said nut, sufficiently far so that insertion of the screw into the nut is made possible.
