Adjustable guide apparatus for a turbine, turbine for an exhaust turbocharger and exhaust turbocharger
An adjustable guide apparatus for a turbine, comprising a bearing ring with a plurality of guide vanes, wherein the guide vanes are rotatably mounted on the bearing ring with the aid of guide vane shafts, wherein, in order to position the guide vane, the guide vane shaft is allocated an adjusting lever which is designed to be able to engage in a rotatable rotating ring of the adjustable guide apparatus, and wherein, in order to be held in an exhaust gas guiding section of the turbine, the adjustable guide apparatus has a support ring, and wherein the support ring serves to mount the rotating ring. In accordance with the invention the rotating ring is formed to be free of contact with the support ring. Furthermore, the invention relates to a turbine and to an exhaust turbocharger.
