AXIALLY MOUNTED BEARING HOUSING AND A WIND TURBINE WITH THE AXIALLY MOUNTED BEARING HOUSING

摘要

The present invention discloses a bearing housing (10) for use in a wind turbine is disclosed. Further, the bearing housing (10) is axially coupled to a base support structure (12) using plurality of fastening points on the bearing housing (10). The bearing housing (10) may be coupled to the base support structure (12) at multiple points so that the load is distributed evenly to the support structures such as base plate and the tower. In an aspect of the invention, the bearing housing (10) is coupled to the base support structure (12) using a fastening means (14). In a preferred embodiment, the horizontal central axis (6) of the bearing housing (10) coincides with the horizontal central axis of the base support structure (12).
