Patent ID: 7757586

Claim:
A device for making a screwed connection between a first component and at least one further component by means of a fastening screw having a head or by means of a fastening nut and by means of a corresponding fastening element, wherein the device comprises a tool, wherein said tool is supported on the first component, wherein said tool is rotatably mounted by a bearing, wherein the fastening screw or the fastening nut is retained in said tool so that said fastening screw or said fastening nut cannot rotate and is axially fixed, wherein at least one force accumulator is provided between the tool and the first component, wherein said at least one force accumulator is designed as a device that can be compressed and expanded by a distance, wherein said at least one force accumulator is designed as a device that can be compressed and expanded in the direction of joining of the components, wherein said at least one force accumulator is designed to absorb a predetermined clamping force, said clamping force being developed by rotation of the tool, wherein said at least one force accumulator is designed as a device that is compressed in case that the clamping force developed by rotation of the tool exceeds the defined clamping force which can be absorbed by the force accumulator.
