Abstract

A valve device for controlling a bypass of an exhaust-gas turbocharger may include a valve disc for opening and closing a bypass opening of a turbine, and the bypass opening may be surrounded by a valve seat. A mandrel may protrude on a rear side of the valve disc. An adjusting lever for pivoting the valve disc may be connected with the mandrel. The adjusting lever may have a through opening that may be pierced by the mandrel. The through opening may be radially limited by an interior surface of the adjusting lever. At least one spring element may be arranged in the through opening, and the at least one spring element may subject the mandrel to a radial force.
