Abstract: A connecting device, comprising: a linearly driving drive member; an actuating member driven in a rotating manner by an internal combustion engine charging device with at least one pivot arm connected to the actuating member in a fixed manner, wherein the actuating member transmits rotational moments about a pivot axis, with a slide element connected to the driving member in a fixed manner, and wherein the driving member transmits linear forces oriented obliquely to the pivot axis, with at least one bearing arrangement, which moveably couples the slide element to the pivot arm such that the slide element is displaceably mounted along a displacement axis running parallel to the pivot axis and rotatably mounted about the displacement axis and about a rotary axis running perpendicularly to the displacement axis.

Abstract: An exhaust gas turbocharger, including either a variable turbine with rotatably mounted guide vanes or a compressor geometry with rotatably mounted guide vanes. At least one of the guide vanes has a profile center line with at least one of a jump and a kink.

Abstract: A radial compressor, in particular for a turbo-charger, has a spiral housing and a diffuser. The diffuser is constructed such that a low-pressure region in the area of the transition between the spiral housing and the tongue is at least reduced.

Abstract: A turbocharger for or in a motor vehicle has a rotor with an intermediate blade disposed between two primary blades. The intermediate blade, at least in some regions, has an angular progression that differs from the primary blades.

Abstract: An actuator includes a transmission element configured to transmit a mechanical regulating signal, a guide element and a transmission element mounted on the guide element. The guide element has an inner surface facing the transmission element. The transmission element has an outer surface facing the guide element, wherein the guide element includes at least one radial groove.
