Abstract

A multipart adjustment element for a tolerance compensation arrangement for automatically compensating for tolerances in the spacing between a first and a second component. The adjustment element comprises a bush, a dragging element, a contact disc, and a securing sleeve. The bush has a bore, an outer thread with a first direction, and a step. The dragging element comprises at least one spring arm protruding radially inwards, wherein a first axial end of the dragging element is arranged on the step in the threaded bush. The contact disc is arranged adjacently to the first axial end of the threaded bush and has a through-opening. The securing sleeve likewise has a through-opening and is arranged at least partly in the bore of the threaded bush with a press-fit connection in order to securely connect the contact disc, the threaded bush, and the dragging element together.

Dependent claims

A multipart adjustment element for a tolerance compensation arrangement for the automatic compensation of tolerances in the spacing between a first and a second component, including:

a. a threaded bush having a passage bore, an outer thread of a first thread direction as well as a step that is formed inside of the threaded bush so that a first inner diameter adjacent to the first axial end of the threaded bush is larger than a second inner diameter adjacent to the second axial end of the threaded bush,
b. a dragging element with at least one radially inwardly protruding spring arm wherein the dragging element is arranged with a first axial end on the step which is formed in the threaded bush, as well as
c. an abutment disc adjacent to the first axial end of the threaded bush which includes a passage opening, and
d. a securing sleeve with passage opening which is arranged at least partially in a press-fit in the bore of the threaded bush in order to tightly connect the abutment disc, the threaded bush and the dragging element with each other.
