Abstract
The linear measuring device comprises two rails (2 and 3) arranged in parallel to each other and joined together, a measuring head (15) with measurement pickup, an adjusting element (14) connected with the measuring head (15) by way of a spring coupling, this adjusting element being fixedly attachable to the rail (2) by clamping, an adjustable counter stop element (11), and two supporting elements (12 and 13) displaceably arranged on the rail (3), these supporting elements being freely guidable past the elements mounted on the rail (3) over the entire length of the device. Thereby, the measuring device can be adapted to any posed measuring task in a simple way.
