ABSTRACT:
There is provided a gas turbine capable of improving the durability of a main shaft by absorbing the deformation of a casing due to heat and pressure and suppressing stresses acting on the main shaft. A link plate31of a movable supporting leg30that supports a casing26of a gas turbine20on the turbine24side is installed beforehand in an inclined manner at an angle θ1, whereby the displacement X of a lower casing26L in the height direction; which occurs between a pin31ain a top end portion of the link plate31and a top surface of a lower casing26L when the operation status of the gas turbine20shifts from a stop condition to an operating condition is compensated for. This prevents a main shaft25from changing in the height direction in the part of the movable supporting leg30and suppresses bending stresses acting on the main shaft25.
