Abstract:
A turbocharger assembly can include a housing that includes a bore defined by a bore wall and a pin socket that forms an opening in the bore wall; a bearing that includes a pin opening defined by a pin opening surface; a pin, where the pin includes a longitudinal pin axis and a pin surface; a groove in the pin opening surface or the pin surface, where the groove includes an axial length; wherein, in a positioned state of bearing in the bore and the pin in the pin socket with part of the pin in the pin opening, a clearance exists between the bearing and the bore wall, where the groove is in fluid communication with the clearance to form a supply path for lubricant from the clearance to an interface between the pin surface and the pin opening surface.
