Abstract

A distance measuring device (10) in the form of a hand-held unit includes a path (28, 34) for a measurement signal, an adjustable signaling means (36) for changing the measurement signal, and a drive unit (40) for adjusting the signaling means (36, 70). The drive unit is equipped with a static unit (52) and a drive element (46, 76) that the static unit (52) is able to directly drive to execute a movement in relation to the static unit (52). The drive element (46, 76) has the capacity to be driven into a rotation in relation to the static unit (52).
