Abstract
A turbocharger comprising a rotary shaft which is supported by a pair of floating radial bearings. A hollow sleeve is arranged between the floating radial bearings. The sleeve has an outer diameter which is substantially the same as that of the floating radial bearings. The sleeve has an inner diameter which is larger than that of the floating radial bearings. A step portion is formed on one end of the central portion of the rotary shaft. The runner member of a thrust bearing is fixed onto the other end of the central portion of the rotary shaft. The axial movement of the floating radial bearings and the hollow sleeve is restricted by the step portion and the runner member.
