Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A securing element includes a head section and a shank. The cross-section of the shank changes in the axial direction in such a way that, by taking into account a qualitative and/or quantitative predetermined bending torque profile in the shank, the cross-section has a substantially uniform bending stress profile in the shank in relation to a securing element with a constant shank cross-section. An exhaust gas turbocharger having variable turbine geometry includes a VTG-guide vane configuration having at least one such securing element and being secured to a housing component of the exhaust gas turbocharger.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An exhaust gas turbocharger having variable turbine geometry, the exhaust gas turbocharger comprising: at least one housing component having at least one connecting point; an adjustable VTG-guide vane configuration for changing a turbine flow cross-section, said adjustable VTG-guide vane configuration having at least one recess; and at least one securing element for securing said VTG-guide vane configuration to said at least one housing component,…
