December 18, 2024
A turbocharger assembly can include a housing that includes a bore (281) defined by a bore wall (283) and a pin socket (501) that forms an opening in the bore wall; a bearing (310) that includes a pin opening (370) defined by a pin opening surface (1235); a pin (700), where the pin includes a longitudinal pin axis and a pin surface; a groove 751, 1211, 1212, 1213, 1214) in the pin opening surface or the pin surface, where the groove includes an axial length; wherein, in a positioned state of bearing (300) in the bore (281) and the pin (700) in the pin socket (501) with part of the pin in the pin opening (370), a clearance (800) exists between the bearing and the bore wall, where the groove is in fluid communication with the clearance to form a supply path for lubricant from the clearance to an interface between the pin surface and the pin opening surface.
