Abstract
The invention relates to an exhaust-gas turbocharger () as well as in particular a guide apparatus () for an exhaust-gas turbocharger (). The guide apparatus () can have a ring of guide vanes (), which are pivotable on a vane bearing ring () by vane studs (). The vane studs () can be each attached to a vane lever (). The vane levers () can have vane-lever-connectors (), which interact with unison-ring-connectors () of a unison ring () which is pivotable with respect to the vane bearing ring () in a way, that pivoting the unison ring () with respect to the vane bearing ring () results in a synchronous movement of one or more of the vane levers () and guide vanes (). The unison ring () can be radially supported on axial bosses () of several vane levers ().
