A turbocharger having a swing vane nozzle assembly—VGT—is provided. The turbocharger includes a turbine housing and a bearing housing. The swing vane nozzle assembly includes a front nozzle ring, a rear nozzle ring, and a plurality of pivotable gas flow control vanes arranged between the front nozzle ring and the rear nozzle ring. The rear nozzle ring is radially guided by the turbine housing, a radially outer portion of the front nozzle ring is clamped between the bearing housing and the turbine housing thus forming an axial guidance of the front nozzle ring, and an inner periphery of the front nozzle ring is arranged at a distance from the bearing housing.

A variable turbine geometry assembly includes an adjustment ring extending along and rotatable about an axis, at least one vane lever coupled to the adjustment ring, and at least one vane coupled to the at least one vane lever. The variable turbine geometry assembly also includes a biasing member coupled to the adjustment ring at a first circumferential location on the adjustment ring and coupled to the adjustment ring at a second circumferential location on the adjustment ring. The biasing member extends from the first circumferential location to the second circumferential location. The biasing member is operably in contact with the at least one vane lever between the first circumferential location and the second circumferential location to bias the at least one vane lever toward the adjustment ring and to reduce vibration between the adjustment ring and the at least one vane lever.

To solve the problems of compressor wheel blade flow separation causing surge type noises when an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) duct introduces into the compressor exhaust gases to be returned to the engine, the exhaust gas is fed into an annular volume, defined between inner and outer walls or an annular transition cavity shaped as a radially expanded, axially flattened cylindrical space in the compressor inlet, so that the generally unidirectional radial flow from an EGR duct is re-directed and organized as it is turned from generally radial to generally axial, merging with the general inlet flow and presenting the compressor wheel with airflow of “circumferentially uniform” flow velocity.

Steering rod for connecting an actuator to a turbocharger drive member, comprising an elongated main body (2), which extends between a first end (5) equipped with a first through-hole (7), and a second end (6) equipped with a second through-hole (8), and two bushings (3), (4) immovably mounted in the through-holes (7), (8), wherein the bushings (3), (4) are made of a material which has a greater resistance to mechanical wear than the material delimiting the through-holes (7), (8), and wherein each bushing (3) (4) has an outer surface that is in contact with an inner part of the through-hole (7), (8) and has a radial recess (9), the second material tightening the bushing (3), (4) preventing it from rotating and filling the recess (9) preventing the bushing (3), (4) from being extracted from the second through-hole (7), (8).

A turbocharger includes a turbine wheel, a turbine housing, a bearing housing, a compressor housing, a seal plate, a variable nozzle mechanism, a penetrating shaft, and a spring member. The variable nozzle mechanism is located within the turbine housing, and adjusts the amount of exhaust gas that flows toward the turbine wheel. The penetrating shaft extends through the bearing housing and is connected to the variable nozzle mechanism. The spring member pushes out the penetrating shaft toward the compressor housing. The bearing housing and the seal plate define a cooling chamber through which coolant flows. The spring member is located in the cooling chamber.

A centrifugal compressor having a stator which is designed as an inlet stator, in particular for a compressor, with at least one vane having a vane airfoil around which a fluid can flow, with a plurality of vanes arranged in the form of a ring, with an adjustment device for adjusting the vane, wherein a curvature of a profile center line of the vane airfoil has at least one inflection point.

A variable nozzle unit in a variable-capacity supercharger includes: a first nozzle ring disposed in a turbine housing and formed with a plurality of first support holes; a second nozzle ring disposed to face the first nozzle ring and formed with a plurality of second support holes that are through-holes corresponding to the first support holes; a plurality of variable nozzles supported rotatably by the first and second nozzle rings; and a plurality of seal members disposed between a turbine scroll channel and a turbine wheel side. The variable nozzles include first nozzle shafts that are rotatably supported by the first support holes, and second nozzle shafts are rotatably supported by the second support holes, and a first seal member included in the plurality of seal members is provided at the turbine wheel side relative to the second support holes.

It is provided with: a variable nozzle mechanism for regulating a flow of exhaust gas to a turbine rotor; a link mechanism for converting reciprocal displacement from an actuator that operates a variable nozzle mechanism into rotational displacement and transmitting the rotational displacement to an inner section of a bearing housing; and an engaging part for engaging an output section of the link mechanism and an input section of the variable nozzle mechanism, and the engaging part is constituted by a pin and a pin insertion slot where the pin is inserted, and a smooth surface is formed around an insertion position of the pin so as to guide a tip of the pin to the insertion position.

A turbocharger includes a turbine housing, an annular metal plate, and a scroll passage defining plate. The metal plate defines a connecting passage in the turbine housing. The connecting passage connects a turbine chamber and a turbine scroll passage to each other. The scroll passage defining plate includes a passage defining portion that defines the turbine scroll passage and an inner circumferential edge portion that extends from the inner circumferential edge portion of the passage defining portion and along the metal plate. The scroll passage defining plate has an inner circumferential edge that is fixed between the turbine housing and the metal plate. The scroll passage defining plate is arranged in the turbine housing such that the outer circumferential edge portion of the passage defining portion is movable relative to the turbine housing.

A stopper 30 is provided with: a nut-receiving part 44a provided on a heat insulation plate 44 that is attached to an actuator bracket 43; and a movable-side stopper part 33 provided on an actuator rod 26 that moves in relation to the heat insulation plate 44. An actuator 27 is provided with an actuator body 41 that generates driving force, and the actuator rod 26 which transmits the driving force from the actuator body 41. The movable-side stopper part 33 is provided on the actuator rod 26 that extends from the actuator body 41 to the nozzle vane side.
