TURBOCHARGER

Provided is a turbocharger comprising a gripper that, by gripping a turbine-housing-side flange section and a bearing-housing-side flange section, joins a turbine housing and a bearing housing, the turbocharger being configured such that, in a state where the turbine housing and the bearing housing are joined by the gripper, elastic force acts respectively on the turbine housing and the bearing housing in the direction of mutual separation in the axial direction of the turbine-housing-side flange section and the bearing-housing-side flange section. 本发明提供种涡轮增压器，具备夹持件，该夹持件通过夹持涡轮壳体侧凸缘部和轴承壳体侧凸缘部将涡轮壳体和轴承壳体连结，在利用夹持件将涡轮壳体和轴承壳体连结的状态下，将涡轮壳体侧凸缘部和轴承壳体侧凸缘部在轴向上相互分离的方向的弹性力分别作用于涡轮壳体及轴承壳体。
