In order to make the components of a guide apparatus for an axial flow turbine easy to activate and also to permit only small gap flows, an axial flow machine is proposed with a guide apparatus, which comprises a row of adjustable guide vanes in the flow duct, which flow duct is bounded, on the one hand, by an inner spherically configured hub and, on the other hand, by an outer spherically configured guide vane carrier, the guide vanes being, on the one hand, rotationally supported in radial bearing holes of the annular guide vane carrier and, on the other hand, the spherically configured tip and root profiles of the guide vanes sealing against the guide vane carrier and the hub, in which arrangement the hub is embodied with a flexible hub contour at least in the sealing region of the inner tips of the guide vanes and the support for the guide vanes in the direction of the guide vane axes (A) is likewise designed to be flexible.

1. A flow duct guide apparatus for an axial flow turbine, comprising: an inner hub, said inner hub having a region of flexible contour; an annular outer guide vane carrier having a plurality of radial bearing holes; a row of adjustable guide vanes disposed in the flow duct, each guide vane having a tip profile and a root profile, the tip profiles of said guide vanes being rotatably received in said radial bearing holes, the tip profile of said guide vanes sealing against said guide vane carrier, the root profile of said guide vanes sealing against said hub region of flexible contour; and a spring flexibly supporting the tip profile of each of said guide vanes in a direction of the respective axes of said each of said guide vanes for facilitating closure of gaps created by thermal expansion between the root profile of said each of said guide vanes and said hub region of flexible contour. 2. A flow duct guide apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said vane carrier has an inner contour, said vane carrier inner contour, said inner hub, and said tip profiles and said root profiles have correspondingly spherically configured surfaces for improving sealing between inner contour and said tip profiles, and between said inner hub and said root profiles. 3. A flow duct guide apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the inner hub region of flexible contour comprises a ring, said ring having a pre-loaded condition acting against the guide vane root profile. 4. A flow duct guide apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said ring is attached in the inner hub so as to be movable codirectionally of the guide vane axes but without any substantial movement in a flow duct axial direction. 5. A flow duct guide apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said ring includes a slot, said slot being disposed between adjacent guide vanes at a location such that a guide vane movement bypasses said slot. 6. A flow duct guide apparatus according to claim 5, comprising a sealing plate covering said slot and isolating a communication between a hub internal space and the flow duct.
