    Abstract: A fastening assembly is provided which comprises a compensating element and an isolating member. The compensating element comprises a body having a receiving hole and a retaining flange provided at a first end of the body and having a retaining hole. The isolating member is made of metal and comprises a sleeve portion defining a channel. A fastening element inserted from a second end of the body of the compensating element can enter the channel and move in the channel in one or more lateral directions. The sleeve portion is inserted into the retaining hole and cooperates with the retaining hole to retain the isolating member in the compensating element. The fastening element fastens the compensating element to the second component via the sleeve portion, and the sleeve portion is configured to withstand an axial fastening force exerted by the fastening element on the retaining flange of the compensating element.

  • Publication number: 20240018990
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a compensation nut assembly comprising a first nut having a limiting tab, a second nut and a limiting member connected to the second nut and comprising a first blocking arm and a second blocking arm. When the assembly is in a pre-assembled state, the first and second blocking arms retain the limiting tab therebetween in a circumferential direction. When a certain screwing force is applied to the first nut in the pre-assembled state in a first rotation direction, the first and second blocking arms are at least partially deflected by the limiting tab to allow the first nut to rotate out of the pre-assembled state. When a certain screwing force is applied to the first nut in the pre-assembled state in a second rotation direction, the first and second blocking arms restrict the first nut from rotating out of the pre-assembled state.
