Abstract
A centering arrangement includes a ring-like inner part and a ring-like outer part, whereby the outer part surrounds the inner part in a concentric arrangement and with an interspace established between the outer part and the inner part, and whereby the outer part and the inner part are subject to a differential radial expansion. A centering contact element, procures a centering mechanical contact between the outer part and the inner part at a plurality of circumferentially distributed contact points, and is able to deform in order to compensate for differential radial expansion.
