Infinitely variable tolerance compensation

The use of FLEXITOL manual and automatic tolerance compensation systems from Bollhoff permits greater manufacturing tolerances, thereby allowing for more cost-effective production methods.

Infinitely variable tolerance compensation

Stepless tolerance compensation

Manual tolerance compensation: This tolerance compensation system is screwed into the receiving component to a defined position. During the joining process, the component tolerances are compensated (zero tolerance at delivery of component). Further alignment is possible during assembly. When the joint is released, the set position is retained.

Automatic tolerance compensation: Two components are aligned or positioned in relation to one another. When they are screwed together, the gap between the two components is automatically compensated.

The tolerance compensation system fixes the position in which they were originally aligned. When the joint is released, the system returns to its base position.
