Abstract:
1. A method for mounting a position measuring system on a first part and on a second part movable relative to said first part, wherein said position measuring system comprises a gauge, which has a pitch carrier and is fixable on said first part, said a sensing head fixable on said second part, said method comprising the steps of: a) fixing the sensing head on the gauge such that the sensing head and the gauge are fixed in position relative to each other, wherein a removable spacer is interposed between the sensing head and the pitch carrier; b) fixing the gauge on the first part and the sensing head on the second part; and c) releasing said fixation between the sensing head and the gauge, wherein the sensing head or the gauge is fixed on the respective part, in the position defined by said positional fixation, in a gap-filling manner, and wherein the spacer is removed to provide a predefined clearance between the sensing head and the pitch carrier.
