Abstract
A retaining cam () for a rotatable fastener for connecting components () is provided. The retaining cam () has a housing () pivotally supported on a base plate (), by which the retaining cam () can be fixedly connected to one () of the components (). A screw () is secured rotationally fixed in the housing (). A fastener bolt () rotatably connected to another () of the components () can be screwed onto the screw (). Spring elements are associated with the screw () for generating an elastic pretension for securing the fastener bolt () against rotation. The housing () is pivotally supported on the base plate () by a spherical washer (). An angle deviation between the center axes of the retaining cam () and the fastener bolt () can be compensated for by pivoting the retaining cam on the spherical washer () while maintaining full-surface contact of the retaining cam ().
