  • Turbocharger actuator arrangement
    Patent number: 11867115
    Abstract: A turbocharger actuator arrangement for a turbocharger includes a movable actuator operating lever, a control rod, and a wave spring. More specifically, the control rod is couplable to a setting element of the turbocharger and is connected to the actuator operating lever by means of a bolt such that the control rod is arranged to be rotatable relative to the actuator operating lever. The bolt extends from the actuator operating lever through an opening in an end region of the control rod and through the wave spring. As such, the control rod and the wave spring are arranged between the actuator operating lever and a bolt securing means, which is arranged at an end region of the bolt that is averted from the actuator operating lever.
