The arrangement includes a base element having first and second metal elements with inner threads. An adjustment unit includes a threaded sleeve with an outer thread and a dragging unit at least partially arranged in the threaded sleeve. The outer thread forms a first thread pairing of a first thread direction with the inner thread of the first metal element. A fastening screw can be screwed into the inner thread of the second metal element via a second thread pairing of a second thread direction opposite to the first thread direction. The fastening screw can be connected to the adjustment unit via the dragging unit so that, during the rotation of the fastening screw, the adjustment unit co-rotates and is moved into abutment with the first component.

Abstract

The invention relates to a mounting system (12) for attaching and adjusting a vehicle light (10) on a motor vehicle. According to the invention, the mounting system (12) comprises a threaded sleeve, which is screwed into the vehicle light (10). A washer (28) is enclosed in the inner lateral surface (24) of the threaded sleeve and can be rotationally moved about the longitudinal axis (L) of the threaded sleeve. The washer (28) has, in the middle of same, a borehole through which a fastening screw (36) can be guided and can be locked by means of a fastening nut. The fastening nut has an interface by means of which the fastening bolt can be fastened to a vehicle structure (16). As long as the fastening screw (36) has not yet been tightly screwed with the fastening nut, the washer (28) can still be displaced between the fastening screw (36) and the fastening nut. The vehicle light (10) can thus be transversally positioned in a plane, wherein the plane corresponds to a support plane of the fastening nut on the directly adjacent vehicle structure (16). In the target position, the fastening screw (36) can be tightened, causing the washer (28) to be fixed. Now, only a rotational relative movement between the threaded sleeve and the washer (28) is possible, as a result of which the vehicle light (10) can still be adjusted along the longitudinal axis (L) of the threaded sleeve.

Abstract

A setting welding device is set forth for setting stud-like auxiliary joining parts in a plurality of layers of material and subjecting them to a mechanical-thermoforming process on a second layer of material and connecting them to said second layer by way of a welding operation. For this purpose, the punch is used to apply to the welding auxiliary joining part mechanical and thermal loads that follow prescribed characteristic force and current curves. Furthermore, a corresponding connecting method that can be realized with the aid of the setting welding device is also disclosed.

Abstract

The electro-hydraulic linear actuator comprises an individual pump unit (P) that is driven via a motor and in a rotational manner. The pump unit (P) is fluidically connected to the working chamber of the first hydraulic cylinder (Z1) and to the working chamber of the second hydraulic cylinder (Z2) in order to alternatingly supply these with hydraulic fluid. The first and the second hydraulic cylinder (Z1, Z2) are each arranged adjacent to the pump unit (P), opposite one another in the radial direction, and have a respective piston (12, 22). The pistons (12, 22) are connected to one another via a common piston rod (25). Depending on the rotational direction of the pump unit (P), the piston (12) of the hydraulic cylinder (Z1) or the piston (22) of the hydraulic cylinder (Z2) is moved in a controlled manner and/or supplied with a hydraulic pressure.
