Abstract

The invention is directed to a probe for coordinate measuring apparatus. The apparatus includes measuring systems (15, 16, 17) for measuring the deviation of the flexible part (10) of the probe and a damping device damps the flexible part (10) of the probe. The damping device is embodied as at least one friction brake (19, 27) and the friction force of the friction brake is adjustable. The flexible part (10) of the probe can also be blocked by the friction brake (19, 27).
