Abstract
A turbo-machine compressor which includes variable incidence stator vanes the angular adjustment of which is controlled by a control ring coupled to individual vanes by individual links. Each link has at least one contact surface on each of its longitudinal edges, such surfaces being either plane or convex. In the event of failure of any link, the change in orientation is controlled within narrow limits by contact with the contact surfaces of adjacent links which have not failed.
