Abstract

A gas turbine with at least one fixed guide vane ring (1) with a sealing ring (3) cooperating with a sealing member on the turbine rotor (7). The sealing ring (3) is connected to the guide vane ring (1) through a number of links (19) which are suitably oriented in a substantially tangential direction. The attachment of the sealing ring (3) by means of the links (19) means a perfect centering of the sealing ring (3) relative to the rotor (7) when the guide vane ring (1) expands relative to the sealing ring (3).
