Abstract

A guide mechanism for a gas turbine has a casing supporting on its interior a duct delimited by radially inner and outer duct segments. A variable guide vane located at least partially within the duct can rotate about an axis of rotation to guide flow of a fluid in the duct. The radially inner duct segment is fastened to the guide vane and is retained on the casing element via the guide vane, which is mounted on the casing element via a bushing inserted in the radial direction from outside to inside into a passage opening of the casing element.
