An inlet connection piece for an axial compressor, particularly for a turbocompressor, includes an inlet housing () in which is arranged a bearing housing () with a bearing (), particularly a radial and/or axial bearing, for a rotor. The bearing housing () is connected to the inlet housing () by an inlet strut () which is connected to the inlet housing in a front cross section. The center of the bearing () is arranged axially in the flow direction of a fluid to be compressed behind the area center of the front cross section by at least 0.1-times, particularly at least 0.15-times, particularly at least 0.2-times, particularly at least 0.25-times, the chord length of the front cross section. In addition or alternatively, a fluid passage () is formed in the inlet strut (), and at least portions of this fluid passage () form an acute angle with a normal plane relative to the longitudinal axis of the inlet connection piece.
