  • Publication number: 20130243598
    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.
