  • Patent number: 11499576
    Abstract: A mounting element which allows for safe mounting of a module on a main body, the contact pressure acting on the module or on the main body not exceeding a maximum pressure, includes a control unit, a resilient clamping element and an actuation element. The control unit includes a pressure element and a counterpressure element, and the resilient clamping element is connected to the pressure element and to the counterpressure element. The actuation element includes a tool holder having a mounting recess and increases or reduces a contact pressure of the resilient clamping element between the pressure element and the counterpressure element when actuated in a tightening direction and a release direction, respectively. The mounting element further includes a displacement element that is connected to the clamping element and fills the mounting recess of the tool holder as soon as the contact pressure exceeds a maximum pressure.
