Abstract

A vane adjustment assembly includes a plurality of vanes, an annular ring coupled to the vanes, and a ring adjustment plate. The adjustment plate includes a main plate portion arranged on the ring and including a first adjustment region defined between two walls and a first elongated opening formed through the first adjustment region, and an adjustment fastener removably arranged in the first adjustment region between the first and second walls and including an adjustment head and a fastening pin eccentrically coupled to the adjustment head and removably coupled to the annular ring. The adjustment fastener can be selectively arranged at rotational positions within the first adjustment region so as to selectively arrange the fastening pin at distinct circumferential positions relative to the first and second walls such that the main plate portion can be positioned at distinct circumferential positions.
