A turbomachine includes a variably positioned vane, an outer spindle integral with a vane outer button, where the vane is coupled to the vane outer button, an annular sleeve defining the spindle, where the annular sleeve contacts the vane outer button at a radially inward extent and contacts a turbine casing at a radially outward extent. The annular sleeve includes a wall portion having an aperture and the spindle extends through the aperture. A nut engages spindle threads, where the nut applies force to the wall portion toward the radially inward extent. An end of the spindle extends through the turbine casing, and a cantilever rotation actuator is coupled to the end of the spindle. A first bearing and second bearing engage the annular sleeve. A vane inner button is coupled to the vane, and a third bearing engages the vane inner button.
