Abstract
Stabilization and drive linkages of a compressor capacity control valve are separated, for example physically and/or entirely, such that the respective linkages use separate and discrete attachment projections provided on the drive and throttle rings of the capacity control valve. The use of discrete attachment projections places lower stress on each attachment projection compared to linkages including paired stabilization and drive linkages sharing some attachment projections. The stabilization linkages can connect to an interstage casing. The linkage assemblies allow the throttle ring to be driven in an axial direction so as to open or close the compressor capacity control valve.
