Abstract

A linear guide for a coordinate measuring machine. The linear guide comprises at least one plate-shaped main body and at least one guide rail. The plate-shaped main body has a material with a first coefficient of thermal expansion. The at least one guide rail has a material with a second coefficient of thermal expansion, which differs from the first coefficient of thermal expansion. The guide rail is connected to the plate-shaped main body, and arranged in a neutral axis of the plate-shaped main body.
