The present invention is characterized in that the uneven scale is read using a vibrator that vibrates at a high frequency in order to improve the reading accuracy. In other words, if a vibrator is opposed to a concave-convex scale with a minute gap and resonated at a high frequency, and this vibrating vibrator is moved in parallel along the concave-convex scale,
Since the resonant frequency of the vibrator changes due to the influence of reflected waves and the like on the uneven portion, the uneven scale can be easily detected with high precision by detecting and determining the frequency of the vibrator.

The oscillation frequency of the oscillator 3 is about 1 K to 1 MHz, and this excites the vibrator 2 to vibrate, bringing it into a resonant state in a state where it faces the scale 1 with a small gap as shown in the figure. That is, by adjusting the facing interval between the scale scale and the vibrator and the excitation frequency of the vibrator, the vibrator is set to be in a resonant state. The vibration wave of the vibrator 2 is transmitted to the surface of the scale 1 through the air medium, and the reflected vibration acts on the vibrator 2 again, causing resonance, but as the vibrator 2 moves along the scale 1,
When facing the concave groove 1a, the propagation state of the reflected wave changes, affecting and changing the resonant frequency of the vibrator 2. Therefore, by detecting and determining the change in the frequency of the vibrator 2 with the detector 4, the position of the scale can be determined with high accuracy. That is, extremely large vibration energy is detected from the vibrator 2 in a resonant state, but since the opposing position moves and the resonant state is broken at the groove 1a, the change is extremely large and can be detected with high sensitivity.

Note that the detection by the detector 4 may be to detect and discriminate reflected waves, and since the reflection state is different between the groove 1a of the scale 1 and other parts, the discrimination can be easily made. The scale scale may be a convex scale.
In addition to air, a liquid such as water or oil can be used as the propagation medium between the vibrator 2 and the scale 1, thereby increasing the propagation effect and improving the sensitivity.
