Flexitol

System of compensation of tolerances: it does not alter the quality of the final product

Picture of System of compensation of tolerances
The system of compensation of tolerances Flexitol was developed to be able to to compensate tolerances using an element of economic fixation that allow a production in series where do not produce tensions neither deformations in the pieces.

The system Flexitol of automatic compensation of tolerances offers a better solution so much technical like economic. The compensation of tolerances consists in an element of adjust and an element of fixation. The group is inserted in the accommodation of one of the pieces to join of distinct ways, for example, by placing and threaded or by placing and remachado. During the first part of the process of setting, when using the screw, the tolerance between the two pieces compensates automatically thanks to the thread to left in the casquillo of compensation. The rest of the process of atornillado serves to ensure the union.

The main advantages of the system of compensation of tolerances Flexitol are the compensation of the greater tolerances of production, that does not alter the quality of the final product, his performance of big reliability, the accessibility by an alone side and the easy integration of components of the customer. They exist distinct types of applications that require of systems of compensation of tolerances improved and adapted to each need. At present, there are three types: the Flexitol of metal, the Flexitol hybrid and the Flexitol of plastic. The first is very resistant to the wear and to the corrosion and can reutilizarse very easily. The threaded of the two pieces between himself also can do manualmente. The element of adjust can place also in solid material. The element of fixation is available in different versions. The placing is easy thanks to the recognised technology of placing in blind.

The second is a system composed by two pieces designed mainly for his use in the production of big scale. Because of his modular conception, can fix distinct heights and compensate different ranks of tolerance easily. To be able to ensure a big resistance, the transmissive pieces of strength are of metal, that to his time find inside a casquillo of plastic. The fixation realises using a nut remachable, that can also be replaced by other types of fasteners (ej. Clips).

Finally, the Flexitol of plastic, composed by two pieces, is inserted in the accommodation of one of the pieces to join. Also it is possible the placing through the method "bayonet", for which the Flexitol of plastic has to insert inside an accommodation with form of eye of lock and block with a chamber of turn.
