Abstract:
An actuating device for operating an actuating element of a turbocharger, comprises an actuating drive for generating an actuating force; and a coupling device which is mechanically coupled to the actuating drive and to the actuating element and which is designed to transmit the actuating force to the actuating element; wherein the coupling device has a coupling rod which is coupled, in each case by means of a joint, both to the actuating drive and to the actuating element; at least one of the joints is formed as a ball joint and has a ball socket and a ball head; and a sphere-like surface either of the ball head or of the ball socket of the corresponding joint is formed such that the ball head and the ball socket are in contact by way of at least two contact points in the assembled state.

Claim (Index 6):
The actuating device of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one pin-like body with the ball head, and wherein the sphere-like surface is formed such that the at least two contact points are arranged with a predetermined spacing to a central longitudinal axis of the pin-like body.
