Goniometer for measuring apparatus and measuring apparatus

Abstract

A goniometer (2) for a measuring apparatus (1), in particular an X-ray scattering measuring apparatus, is provided, comprising: a base unit (11); a first goniometer arm (12a) and a second goniometer arm (12b); a rotary drive unit (13) comprising a housing (14) and an output shaft (15) with output shaft axis (9), wherein the housing (14) of the rotary drive unit (13) is rotatably mounted about a rotary drive unit bearing axis (10) which is substantially parallel and in particular substantially along the output shaft axis (9) relative to the base unit (11);wherein the first goniometer arm (12a) is attached to the housing (14) of the rotary drive unit (13), wherein by activating the rotary drive unit (13) the first goniometer arm (12a) is rotated about the rotary drive unit bearing axis (10), wherein the second goniometer arm (12a) is attached to the output shaft (15) of the rotary drive unit (13), wherein by activating the rotary drive unit (13) the second goniometer arm (12b) is rotated about the output shaft axis (9) and / or the rotary drive unit bearing axis (10).
