The exhaust-gas turbine comprises a turbine wheel arranged on a shaft, a bearing casing for the bearing arrangement of the rotatable shaft, a gas-inlet casing supported on the bearing casing and concentrically surrounding the bearing casing in the supporting region, and a centering ring for centering the gas-inlet casing relative to the shaft mounted in the bearing casing. The centering ring and either the bearing casing or the gas-inlet casing comprise grooves and either radially or axially unidirectional centering lugs for engaging in the grooves. Due to the radially or axially unidirectional centering lugs with corresponding grooves, at least one of the connections between the bearing casing and the centering ring and the centering ring and the gas-inlet casing is not positive-locking, as a result of which any desired positioning of the gas-inlet casing relative to the bearing casing is made possible.

What is claimed is: 1. A turbine casing, comprising a bearing casing for the bearing arrangement of a rotatable shaft, a gas-inlet casing supported on the bearing casing and concentrically surrounding the bearing casing in the supporting region, and a centering ring for centering the gas-inlet casing relative to the shaft mounted in the bearing casing, the centering ring and either the bearing casing or the gas-inlet casing comprising intermeshing centering means, wherein the centering means comprise grooves and either radially or axially unidirectional centering lugs for engaging in the grooves, and wherein there is a frictional connection between the casing which does not comprise the centering means, that is to say either the gas-inlet casing or the bearing casing, and the centering ring. 2. The turbine casing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the centering lugs are arranged on the centering ring and the grooves are incorporated in either the bearing casing or the gas-inlet casing. 3. The turbine casing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the grooves are incorporated in the centering ring and the centering lugs are arranged on either the bearing casing or the gas-inlet casing. 4. The turbine casing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the centering ring is pressed in place on the bearing casing or the gas-inlet casing with the side remote from the centering means. 5. The turbine casing as claimed in claim 4, wherein that side of the centering ring which is remote from the centering means and/or the casing surface onto which the centering ring is pressed have/has a conical profile. 6. The turbine casing as claimed in claim 4, wherein the cone angle, at 15째-30째, is selected in such a way that the press fit between centering ring and casing surface is not self-locking. 7. The turbine casing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the bearing casing has an axial stop in the supporting region, which axial stop is pressed against an axial stop of the gas-inlet casing with means for axially fastening the gas-inlet casing to the bearing casing, and wherein the centering ring arranged radially between the axial stop of the bearing casing and the gas-inlet casing is pressed in place on the bearing casing or the gas-inlet casing by the axial fastening of the gas-inlet casing to the bearing casing. 8. The turbine casing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the centering ring comprises a plurality of centering-ring segments hooked one inside the other. 9. An exhaust-gas turbine, comprising a turbine casing as claimed in claim 1, having a gas-inlet casing and a bearing casing and also a shaft rotatably mounted in the bearing casing, in which case the gas-inlet casing is centered with the bearing casing relative to the shaft and can be connected at any desired angle. 10. A turbocharger, comprising an exhaust-gas turbine as claimed in claim 9.
