Abstract

The invention relates to a turbo-machine incorporating a compressor with stator vanes of which the angle of incidence is adjustable. In order to enable adjustment in the position of the internal ring of a stator of the compressor, each of the sectors of the ring is provided with adjustment locations constituted by the bushes of pivot bearings for the roots of the vanes which roots comprise an external screw thread cooperating with a complementary internal screw thread of their seating and these come into abutment against a shoulder of the pivot of each vane so that the radial position of each of the sectors can be adjusted by rotation of the bushes in their respective seating.
