  • Variable-nozzle turbine with means for radial locating of variable-nozzle cartridge
    Patent number: 10415462
    Abstract: A turbocharger having a variable-nozzle turbine formed by pivotable vanes supported by a nozzle ring includes a locator that is radially elastically deformable and is disposed between a radially outwardly facing surface of the center housing and an opposing surface of the nozzle ring for radially locating the nozzle ring relative to the center housing. At least one vent is defined in either a radially outermost surface of the locator or the surface of the nozzle ring to allow pressure communication between spaces on axially opposite sides of the locator.
