Patent attributes
A reinforced pitch bearing of a wind turbine having a first reinforcement plate and a second reinforcement plate is provided. The pitch bearing includes an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring, whereby both bearing rings are arranged coaxially to each other, thus comprising a common axis of symmetry. The first reinforcement plate is arranged at a first axial end of the pitch and the second reinforcement plate is arranged at a second axial end of the pitch bearing. The reinforcement plates are arranged substantially parallel to each other and the pitch bearing includes further means for reinforcement arranged in between the first reinforcement plate and the second reinforcement plate. The invention also relates to a wind turbine having at least one rotor blade and at least one pitch bearing, pivotably connecting the rotor with a hub of the wind turbine.
