Two measures are supporting the essential contact condition: a) the radius, including tolerances, of the convex dome shall be larger than the radius of the concave dome; b) the concave surface is designed as an outer ring that is limited in its width. Closer to the pyramid receiver, a sufficient recess prevents any further contact between the concave and convex surface. NOTE Examples of different manufacturers who show that a radius of 25,00 mm is used for the critical dimension connecting the concave and convex dome. The outer diameter of the ring-shaped concave contact area is limited by the intended angular range of adjustment of the modular connection. The inner diameter of that ring provides sufficient width of the contact surface to ensure defined contact area and prevent possible failures in the connection. 4.2 Convex connector The convex connector outline is shown in Figure 1. Table 1 lists the convex connector dimension and tolerance.
