10. A method for assembling a length-measuring device, comprising:
-
providing a hollow section member having a longitudinally extending slot through which a drive dog of a scanning unit scanning a scale disposed within the hollow section member extends during position measurement; providing an elastic seal with which the slot is sealable; attaching a sleeve to at least one end of the seal in a pull-off resistant manner, the sleeve having an axial abutment which is effective in a longitudinal direction of the hollow section member; and
thenpositioning the sleeve on the hollow section member such that the abutment of the sleeve bears axially against the hollow section member. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
