In a device for determining the relative position of two bodies (3, 7) which are movable relative to one another, a separate measuring tape (29) is attached to a first (3) of the two bodies (3, 7) and has at least one track of dimension markings distributed in the longitudinal direction of the tape . The second (7) of the two bodies (3, 7) carries a sensor arrangement (31) which responds to the dimensional markings and which travels along the track in the course of a relative movement of the two bodies (3, 7). According to the invention, the measuring tape (29) is fixed to the first body (3) at at least two fixing points spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the tape and elastically stretched in the longitudinal direction of the tape between the fixing points. |
