Abstract
An exhaust turbocharger comprises a turbine having a turbine wheel and a compressor having a compressor wheel. The turbine wheel and the compressor wheel are connected by a shaft rotatably mounted in a bearing housing. A means for axially securing the shaft and the turbine wheel connected thereto is provided between the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel. The means limits an axial movement of the shaft and of the turbine wheel connected thereto in the direction of the turbine in the event of the compressor wheel bursting. The means comprises a component which is screwed onto the shaft during mounting and is fixed in the axial direction in the housing.
