A device for compensating for tolerances between two components to be connected to one another may have a fastening element for fastening to a first component provided with an opening and for connecting the component to a second component. The device may also have at least two axial tolerance compensation stages for compensating axial tolerances between the two components. The at least two axial tolerance compensation stages are each arranged between the fastening element and one of the components.

Device for compensating for tolerances between two components to be connected to one another

The invention relates to a device for compensating tolerances between a first component and a second component to be screwed to it by means of a connecting screw, comprising a base element and a compensation element that is in thread engagement with the base element, the thread engagement being non-self-locking in such a way that the compensation element moves out of the base element when the connecting screw exerts an axial force on the compensation element.

Tolerance compensation device

The present disclosure relates to a spring element for a device for compensating for tolerances between a first component and a second component, wherein the spring element comprises: at least two axial webs extending in the direction of a longitudinal center axis of the spring element and spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction of the spring element, each of which, viewed in the direction of the longitudinal center axis of the spring element, has two opposite end sections connected by an intermediate section, wherein the end sections of an axial web have at least approximately the same radial distance from the longitudinal center axis of the spring element and the intermediate section arranged between these end sections has a different radial distance from the longitudinal center axis; and at least one connecting ring which connects the axial webs to one another.

Spring element

The invention relates to an apparatus for the compensation of tolerances between components to be screwed to one another, comprising a hollow-cylindrical base element and a hollow-cylindrical compensation element which is in threaded engagement with the base element and which can be moved from a starting position into a compensation position by rotation relative to the base element. The apparatus is characterized in that a fixing means is provided by which the compensation element can be fixed in the compensation position relative to the base element.
