Abstract: A bearing adjusts an angle of attack of a rotor blade of a wind turbine according and includes first and second bearing rings that are rotatable relative to each other. The first bearing ring includes, as a slider or translator of a linear motor, a plurality of magnetic field sources disposed adjacently around at least a part of its circumference. The magnetic field sources are disposed such that each two adjacently disposed magnetic field sources generate a magnetic field with alternating polarity. The second bearing ring includes, as a stator of the linear motor, a group of at least two coils disposed adjacently around at least part of its circumference. A wind turbine includes a rotor coupled to at least one rotor blade via such a bearing, which enables the angle of attack of the rotor blade to be adjusted during operation.

Abstract: A screw actuator, particularly for a brake calliper, comprising a housing (1), a screw mechanism (4) with a screw (6) and a nut (5), one of which is rotatably supported with respect to the housing (1), a motor (7) which is drivingly connected to the screw mechanism (4), a mechanical locking device comprising a pawl member (41) and a rotatable member (42) connected to a rotatable component of the motor (7) and/or the screw mechanism (4), and a mechanical or electromechanical control mechanism for displacing the pawl member (41) between a locking position and a free position. A gear reduction mechanism (20) is provided, one of the gear wheels (42) thereof carries teeth (45) for engaging with the pawl member (41).

Abstract: A screw actuator module which is to be accommodated in a housing (1), comprising a screw mechanism (2) with a nut (3) and a screw (4), a bearing (5) for the rotor of a motor, and a sleeve (6) which is to be supported with respect to the housing. The sleeve (6) carries a bearing (7) by means of which the nut (3) is rotatably supported. Lock means (36, 37) are provided for preventing rotations of the screw (4) with respect to the sleeve (6).
