Abstract

This invention relates to a compressor 100 for a supercharger 10. The compressor 100 comprises a compressor housing 110 with a compressor inlet 112 and a compressor outlet 114. The compressor 100 furthermore comprises an adjustment mechanism 200 and an actuator device 300. The adjustment mechanism 200 comprises an adjustment ring 210 and a plurality of shutter elements 220 for changing an inlet cross section 112a of the compressor inlet 112. The actuator device 300 comprises a drive unit 310 and a coupling unit 320. The actuator device 300 is thus coupled, via the coupling unit 320, to the adjustment mechanism 200 in order to move the adjustment mechanism 200 between a first position and a second position.
