Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a valve device for a turbine of an exhaust gas turbocharger having a valve element for adjusting the pressure of the charge air supplied to, and pressurized by, the exhaust gas turbocharger, wherein the valve element is mounted on a shaft which is rotatably supported at a first bearing point on a housing element so that the valve element can be pivoted about an axis of rotation relative to the housing element by an actuating element connected to the shaft adjacent the housing element, the shaft is further supported at a second bearing point which is spaced from the first bearing point and disposed at the side of the actuating element remote from the housing element.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A valve device ( 14 ) for a turbine ( 10 ) of an exhaust gas turbocharger, the valve device ( 14 ) comprising: a first bearing point ( 26 ) on a housing ( 12 ) of the turbine ( 1 ), a valve element ( 36 ) for adjusting a charge-air pressure of the exhaust gas turbocharger, a shaft ( 16 ) coupled to the valve element ( 36 ) for pivoting the valve element ( 36 ), an actuating plate ( 18 ) mounted on the shaft ( 16 ), a second bearing point ( 28 ) provided by a bearing support bracket ( 32 ) which is formed separately from the housing ( 12 ) but which is fixed to the housing ( 12 ), the second bearing point ( 28 ) being spaced from the first bearing point ( 26 ) and arranged outside the housing ( 12 ) at a side of the actuating plate ( 18 ), whereby the shaft ( 16 ) is pivotally supported at the first bearing point ( 26 ) and the second bearing point ( 28 ) at opposite sides of the actuating plate ( 18 ) so that the valve element ( 36 ) can be pivoted about an axis of rotation relative to the housing ( 12 ) by the actuating plate ( 18 ). 2. The valve device ( 14 ) as claimed claim 1 , wherein the actuating plate ( 18 ) of the valve device ( 14 ) is a lever coupled to the shaft ( 16 ).
