Tolerance-compensation unit and fastening assembly having a tolerance-compensation function

Abstract

A tolerance-compensation unit for a fastening assembly includes: a base element having a central portion and a through opening provided in the central portion, the central portion having a spherical shaped first surface and an opposite, spherical shaped second surface; a first bushing having a spherical-shaped first surface and an opposite, planar second surface; and a second bushing having a first spherical-shaped surface and an opposite, planar second surface. The first and second bushings are configured to be connected together through the opening of the base element so that the central portion of the base element is sandwiched between the first and second bushings, while allowing the central portion of the base element to slide between the first and second bushings.
