Abstract
In an axial flow gas turbine, the outlet blading followed by an exhaust casing (5) whose boundary walls essentially comprise a ring-shaped inner part (6) at the hub and a ring-shaped outer part (7) which delimit a diffusor (9). The outlet-end bearing arrangement (4, 11) of the turbomachine is arranged in the hollow space within the inner part. The bearing casing (11) can be repositioned by adjustment elements (12) arranged on the inner part (6) of the exhaust casing and is supported on the foundation via at least one sprung support (15).
