Abstract
An adjustment unit including a bearing having an inner core formed with a passage extending in the longitudinal direction of the inner core. A spacing element is arranged in the passage, which spacing element has an opening for receiving a bearing pin, the opening extends along a longitudinal axis which defines the attachment axis of the bearing, and the attachment axis and the bearing axis are adjustable relative to one another by adjusting the spacing element. The spacing element is movably arranged in the direction of extension of the passage. When the bearing is installed, the spacing element is axially adjusted along the attachment axis and causes a translational deflection of the inner core transversely to the attachment axis.
Claims16
An adjustment unit comprising:
- a bearing having an inner core formed with a passage extending in a longitudinal direction of the inner core and having a cylindrical outer sleeve defining an outer portion of the bearing and surrounding the inner core, wherein a spacing element is disposed in the passage and has an opening for receiving a bearing pin, wherein the opening extends along a longitudinal axis, which defines an attachment axis of the bearing, and wherein the attachment axis and the bearing axis are adjustable relative to one another by an adjustment of the spacing element,
- wherein the spacing element is movably arranged in a direction of extension of the passage, wherein, in an installed state of the bearing, the spacing element is axially adjusted along the attachment axis and causes a translational deflection of the inner core transversely to the attachment axis.
An adjustment device for adjusting a relative position of two components supported against one another, comprising:
- an adjustment unit comprising:
- a bearing having an inner core formed with a passage extending in a longitudinal direction of the inner core and having a cylindrical outer sleeve defining an outer portion of the bearing and surrounding the inner core, wherein a spacing element is disposed in the passage and has an opening for receiving a bearing pin, wherein the opening extends along a longitudinal axis, which defines an attachment axis of the bearing, wherein the attachment axis and a bearing axis are provided in a plane, and wherein the attachment axis and the bearing axis are adjustable relative to one another by an adjustment of the spacing element, wherein the spacing element is movably arranged in a direction of extension of the passage, wherein, in an installed state of the bearing, the spacing element is axially adjusted along the attachment axis and causes a translational deflection of the inner core transversely to the attachment axis;
- and
- a bearing receptacle provided in a first of the two components, wherein the bearing is received in the bearing receptacle, wherein the bearing receptacle is embraced by a bearing holder arranged on a second of the two components, and wherein the bearing, the spacing element and the bearing holder are penetrated by a bearing pin which can be fixed to the bearing holder by means of a screwable nut.
