Abstract
A system for controlling variable-pitch vanes for a turbine engine, including a control ring having an axis of revolution and, about the axis of revolution, an annular row of connecting rods for connecting the ring to the vanes, each connecting rod including a first end designed so as to be connected to one of the vanes, and a second end which is connected to an elongate shaft which is connected to s the ring. The shaft connected to each connecting rod has an axis of elongation which is inclined relative to a plane extending substantially through the axis of revolution and the connecting rod.

A system for controlling variable-pitch vanes for a turbine engine, comprising:
- a control ring having an axis of revolution and, about said axis of revolution, an annular row of connecting rods for connecting the ring to said vanes, each connecting rod comprising a first end designed so as to be connected to one of said vanes, and a second end which is connected via a ball-and-socket joint to an elongate shaft which is connected to said ring,
- wherein the shaft connected to each connecting rod has an axis of elongation which is inclined relative to a plane containing said axis of revolution and extending substantially through said connecting rod.
