Exhaust-gas turbocharger
An exhaust-gas turbocharger with a bearing housing which receives a static bearing bush for a rotor shaft. A lug supported in the bearing housing engages the bearing bush and prevents the bearing bush from rotating but avoids a restriction of the freedom of movement of the bearing bush in the axial and radial directions.
