An actuator power transmission mechanism includes: a first lever that rotates by power of an actuator; a drive shaft that has one end fixed to the first lever and rotates integrally with the first lever; one or more nozzle vanes that are directly or indirectly coupled to the other end side of the drive shaft, rotate interlocking with the drive shaft, and adjust an inclination angle with respect to a flow direction of a fluid; and a bearing that has an insertion hole through which the drive shaft is inserted, and that rotatably supports the drive shaft, and a suppression portion that suppresses infiltration of water that runs along an outer peripheral surface of the bearing into the insertion hole is provided at the outer peripheral surface of the bearing.

Actuator power transmission mechanism and turbocharger

A reservoir groove for storing condensate water is formed on a lower part side of a link chamber inside a turbine housing. The reservoir groove is formed such that, assuming that water vapor contained in an exhaust gas retained inside the link chamber is completely condensed and liquefied after an engine stops its operation, a height position of a reference water surface of the condensate water stored in a reservoir area, which includes a space inside the reservoir groove in the link chamber, is lower than a height position of a lowermost part of the link mechanism.

A shaft includes: two large-diameter portions; and a small-diameter portion formed between the two large-diameter portions. A bearing includes: an annular body in which to insert the shaft; two bearing surfaces being opposite the large-diameter portions; and an intervening surface located between the two bearing surfaces on an inner circumferential surface of the body, and being opposite the small-diameter portion with a clearance formed between the intervening surface and the small-diameter portion. No anti-corrosion treatment is applied to the large-diameter portions. An anti-corrosion treatment is applied to at least any one of: an exposed portion of an outer peripheral surface of the body of the bearing, which is exposed to the outside of the housing; the intervening surface of the bearing; an opposite end surface of the bearing; and the small-diameter portion of the shaft.
