Abstract
Column for measuring longitudinal dimensions (1) comprising: a supporting frame (2), a carriage (3) capable of moving along a measuring axis (z) along the supporting frame, a cable or belt (40) for moving said carriage along said measuring axis, a counterweight connected to said cable or belt so as to move in opposite direction from the carriage, a guiding surface for restricting the counterweight's movements. A play of 1 millimeter is provided between said counterweight and said guiding surface. This play is sufficient to avoid any contact between said counterweight and any guiding surface when said counterweight is displaced vertically.

Column for measuring longitudinal dimensions comprising:
- a supporting frame,
- a carriage capable of moving along a measuring axis along the supporting frame,
- a cable or belt for moving said carriage along said measuring axis,
- a counterweight connected to said cable or belt so as to move in opposite direction from the carriage,
- a guiding surface for restricting the counterweight's movements,
- comprising a spacing between said counterweight and said guiding surface sufficient to avoid any contact between said counterweight and any guiding surface when said counterweight is displaced vertically,
- comprising at least a dampening surface for absorbing possible collisions between said counterweight and said guiding surface.
Column for measuring longitudinal dimensions comprising:
- a supporting frame,
- a carriage capable of moving along a measuring axis along the supporting frame,
- a cable or belt for moving said carriage along said measuring axis,
- a counterweight connected to said cable or belt so as to move in opposite direction from the carriage, said counterweight having an outer surface,
- a guiding surface for restricting the counterweight's movements, said guiding surface substantially surrounding said counterweight and being substantially equally spaced from the outer surface of said counterweight to provide a spacing between said counterweight and said guiding surface sufficient to avoid substantially any contact between said counterweight and any guiding surface when said counterweight is displaced vertically.
