Why tolerance compensation? In today’s technology-oriented industry, time is becoming ever more important. Benefits n Compensation of wide tolerances Wherever there is mass production, cycle times across the entire process chain must be kept short and thus economical. Optimised assembly processes are the key to efficient production. n High performance reliability The automotive industry is a very good example to illustrate the growing complexity of assembly processes. n Fast and easy installation n Access from one side only n Easily integrates into a variety of applications n High end...

Why tolerance compensation? Complex adjustment processes during assembly are time-consuming and thus generate high costs. Small tolerances require precision and, in consequence, more expensive production methods. Reject rates and quality assurance costs also increase. In practise: n Joining tolerances required for quick assembly n Individual tolerances stack up to become tolerance chains n Component stress is avoided n Allows for designs with redundant geometry n Easy adjustment processes produce precise gap widths ® FLEXITOL – an efficient tolerance compensation system saving time and...

Today we have manual and automatic tolerance compensation systems. Use of one or other depends on the field of application. When positioning a component in an assembly without any auxiliaries, then manual solutions are considered most appropriate. For a component spacing predefined by a preceding step, then we would rather recommend automatic solutions. However, manual and automatic tolerance compensation systems may also be combined. Manual tolerance compensation The tolerance compensation system is screwed into the receiving parts to a defined position. During screwing-in, the component...

Manual tolerance compensation system General functional principle The FLEXITOL® system (see figures) is supplied with a patented Böllhoff K’ in K’ thread.* This K’ in K’ thread is characterised by a unique thread profile. The different system variants are self-locking, selftapping, self-forming, adjustable and tolerance compensating and are directly screwed into a plastic component. Component tolerances can be compensated by varying the screw-in depth. After screwing-in, alignment to the second component is achieved. Prior to tightening the screw, radial tolerance compensation is also...

FLEXITOL® K’ in K’ example of the banjo screw For “banjo screws”, the function of the K’ in K’ thread is extremely important. The K’ in K’ thread creates its mounting thread into the existing plastic bore hole. Due to a resistance effect, the banjo screw can then only be screwed further in or out with a higher torque. We can offer different variants according to your requirements. Examples of banjo screws Manual Through hole and internal drive Metal insert for M 6 thread with external and internal drive Metal insert for M 6 thread and additional adapter for adjustment later Bolt thread and...

Automatic tolerance compensation system General functional principle Installation and riveting of the basic element (RIVKLE® blind rivet nut) into the receiving part. Screwing-in of the compensating element into the adjustment thread. Alignment of the mounting part. Upon screwing-in, the compensating element screws out and compensates eliminates the gap between the components. The aligned position is thus fixed.
