Abstract
A tolerance compensation arrangement for fastening first and second components with automatic or self-acting compensation of tolerances in the spacing between the components. The arrangement includes a base element having first and second metal elements with inner threads. An adjustment unit includes a threaded sleeve with an outer thread and a dragging unit at least partially arranged in the threaded sleeve. The outer thread forms a first thread pairing of a first thread direction with the inner thread of the first metal element. A fastening screw can be screwed into the inner thread of the second metal element via a second thread pairing of a second thread direction opposite to the first thread direction. The fastening screw can be connected to the adjustment unit via the dragging unit so that, during the rotation of the fastening screw, the adjustment unit co-rotates and is moved into abutment with the first component.
