Abstract: The propensity for gas and soot leakage around a shaft, which extends through a bore which connects volumes of differing pressures (e.g., a turbocharger turbine housing and the ambient air), is minimized by the addition of a complementary pair of narrowing sealing surfaces which provide a seal against the passage of said gases and soot. Such sealing surfaces can be frusto-spherical or frusto-conical. A biasing element is operatively positioned to exert biasing forces on one or more structures to maintain the sealing surfaces in engagement with each other to form a seal.

Abstract: A product and method for use with a turbocharger system may include a housing with a shaft rotatably supported by the housing. The shaft may extend in an axial direction. A bearing assembly may support the shaft in the housing. A wheel may be connected to the shaft and may rotate relative to the housing. A clearance opening may be defined in the axial direction between the wheel and the housing. A thrust washer may be engaged with the bearing assembly. The thrust washer may have an outer circumference and may be movable relative to the housing. An efficiency washer may be disposed around the outer circumference of the thrust washer and may determine the clearance opening by defining a space within which the thrust washer moves relative to the housing in the axial direction.

Abstract: Turbochargers use actuators to control wastegate valve or VTG vane position to control turbine wheel power. Components of such actuators are susceptible to damage when exposed to foreign liquids, solids and debris. To prevent such ingress, boot seals at the actuator shaft can provide a tortuous path for air aspiration and expulsion from the volume inside the actuator boot is provided at one or more interfaces in the actuator system. Such a path can also prevent ingress of undesired liquids, solid and debris, which can affect actuator performance material. In one arrangement, a tortuous pathway is provided between a boot seal holder and another actuator component. In another arrangement, a tortuous pathway is provided between the actuator shaft and an end portion of a boot seal.
