A connection between a steam turbine (1) and a condenser (2), the turbine being supported by an admission end bearing (7) and by an exhaust end bearing (8), and exhausting axially into an end-located condenser via an exhaust sleeve (3) which is connected to the turbine stator at one end and which has its other end connected to the condenser via a sealed resilient connection (4), the turbine-condenser connection including the improvement whereby a tubular duct (44) passes freely through the condenser along the turbine axis, one end (45) of said duct being fixed to the fixed parts of the turbine exhaust end bearing, which parts are connected to said sleeve (3), and the other end (43) of said duct being connected to a flange (38) having the same diameter as the condenser end of the exhaust sleeve, with a sealed resilient connection (39) being provided between the periphery of said flange and the condenser.
