Tolerance Compensation Assembly and Fastening System

A tolerance compensation assembly (100, 400) for fastening a first part (210, 510) to a second part (220, 520) using a bolt (230, 530), comprising:

• a tolerance compensation element (110, 410) comprising a body (150, 450) and having an axis (115, 415), the body (150, 450) comprising at least two body segments (150a, 150b;
• 450a, 450b) arranged circumferentially about the axis (115, 415), the at least two body segments (150a, 150b;
• 450a, 450b) together defining a channel (112, 412) extending along the axis (115, 415) and being connected to each other in a manner movable with respect to each other so as to enable the at least two body segments (150a, 150b;
• 450a, 450b) to come together and open with respect to each other, and the body (150, 450) further including a threaded connection portion (117, 417) provided on its outer surface for threaded connection with the first part (210, 510);
• and
• a spreading means being inserted into the channel (112, 412) along an insertion direction and having a receiving path (122, 432) extending along the axis (115, 415) to receive the bolt (230, 530), the spreading means being configured to be able to move in the insertion direction driven by the bolt (230, 530) while the bolt (230, 530) is fastening the first part (210, 510) to the second part (220, 520), so as to apply a radial force to the at least two body segments (150a, 150b;
• 450a, 450b) to cause the at least two body segments (150a, 150b;
• 450a, 450b) to open by moving radially away from each other.
