ABSTRACT:
A scale device 1 includes a base unit 2 comprised of an elongated casing 3 wherein an elongated thin-plate-like scale 4 is secured with the a mid portion of the thin-plate-like scale 4 kept in a floating state and a slider unit 10 slidable relative to the base unit 2. The slider unit 10 has a sensor 15 for detecting magnetic graduations recorded on the thin-plate-like scale 4. A reference sliding member 16 is provided for maintaining a constant separation between the sensor 15 and the recording surface of the magnetic graduations of the thin-plate-like scale 4. A pressing sliding member 17 is provided for pressing the reference sliding member 16 so that the recording surface of the magnetic graduations are perpetually contacted with the reference sliding member 16. A detection head unit 14 is movable telescopically relative to the thin-plate-like scale 4 in a direction along the width of the scale.
