Abstract
A turbocharger with an improved suspension mechanism for the actuation ring of a variable nozzle mechanism, for improved maintenance of the geometry of the suspension mechanism in the case of higher temperature oscillations. The suspension mechanism includes a number of guide rollers () provided between a housing part () and nozzle ring () with circumferential grooves () in which the inner circumference of the actuating ring rides. The rollers are freely rotatable on pins (), and these pins are inserted in bores (or) either in a housing part () or in the nozzle ring (), but not both.
