Abstract
A mounting assembly for a movable annular wall member of an inlet passageway of a variable geometry turbine. The inlet passageway is defined between the movable wall and a facing wall. The wall member is formed from a sheet material and is supported on a plurality of pins which extend parallel to the direction of movement of the wall member. The wall member comprises a tubular portion extending away from the facing wall and each pin supports a radial extending projection having a pair of spaced tabs. Each tab is engaged in a respective slot in the tubular portion of the wall member, the tabs being a relatively close fit in the direction of movement of the wall member and a relatively loose fit in a plane at right angles to the direction of movement.
