Abstract: A centering device (10) for centering a turbine housing (40) with respect to a central axis (33) of a radial turbine of a turbo system is described. The centering device (10) includes a ring-shaped body (11) having an outer diameter D1 and an inner diameter D2, wherein a ratio of D1/D2 is ?2. Additionally, the centering device (10) includes two or more centering elements (16) provided on a side surface (12) of the ring-shaped body (11) for engaging with respective complementary centering elements (21) provided on a bearing housing (20). The two or more centering elements (16) are configured for allowing a radial thermal expansion of the ring-shaped body (11) during engagement of the two or more centering elements (16) with the respective complementary centering elements (21). Further, a turbo system, including such a centering device as well as a method of centering a turbine housing are described.

Abstract: A radial bearing arrangement of an exhaust gas turbocharger for mounting a shaft in a bearing housing is disclosed. The radial bearing arrangement comprises a radial bearing bush arranged between the shaft and the bearing housing, wherein the radial bearing bush features a radially outwardly projecting collar, which interacts in the axial direction with an axial stop on the bearing housing. The geometry of the radially outwardly projecting collar is interrupted by cut-outs, such that a force acting on the collar as a result of an oil feed pressure is minimized, and wherein the radial bearing bush is configured such that a lubricating film can form between an end surface of the radial bearing bush and a counterpiece arranged on the shaft.

Abstract: The invention relates to a radial bearing arrangement (110) of an exhaust gas turbocharger (100) for mounting a shaft (120) in a bearing housing (130). The radial bearing arrangement (110) comprises a radial bearing bush (140) arranged between the shaft (120) and the bearing housing (130), wherein the radial bearing bush (140) features a radially outwardly projecting collar (141), which interacts in the axial direction with an axial stop (131) on the bearing housing (130). The geometry of the radially outwardly projecting collar (141) is interrupted by cut-outs (142), such that a force acting on the collar (141) as a result of an oil feed pressure is minimized, and wherein the radial bearing bush (140) is configured such that a lubricating film can form between an end surface (144) of the radial bearing bush (140) and a counterpiece (160) arranged on the shaft (120).
