Bearing assembly of a rotor of a wind turbine, and wind turbine

A bearing assembly (10) of a rotor (11) of a wind turbine, for mounting a shaft (13) of the rotor (11) in a fixed housing (12), wherein the shaft (13) of the rotor is coupled to rotor blades of the rotor (11) via a hub (14), comprising:

• a plurality of first housing-side axial slide bearing segments (17) facing the rotor blades or the hub (14), which plurality of first housing-side axial slide bearing segments (17) engage on the housing (12), are fixed together with the housing (12) and are supported against a first axial sliding surface (19) of the rotor (11);
• a plurality of second housing-side axial slide bearing segments (21) facing away from the rotor blades or the hub (14), which plurality of second housing-side axial slide bearing segments (21) engage on the housing (12), are fixed together with the housing (12) and are supported against a second axial sliding surface (23) of the rotor (11);
• a plurality of first housing-side radial slide bearing segments (25) facing the rotor blades or the hub (14), which plurality of first housing-side radial slide bearing segments (25) engage on the housing (12), are fixed together with the housing (12) and are supported against a first radial sliding surface (27) of the rotor (11);
• and
• a plurality of second housing-side radial slide bearing segments (28) facing away from the rotor blades or the hub (14), which plurality of second housing-side radial slide bearing segments (28) engage on the housing (12), are fixed together with the housing (12) and are supported against a second radial sliding surface (30) of the rotor (11),
• wherein an axial distance between the first and second axial sliding surfaces (19, 23) of the rotor (11), on which the first and second axial slide bearing segments (17, 21) are supported, defines a bearing length l of the bearing assembly (10),
• wherein the radial sliding surfaces (27, 30) of the rotor (11) on which the first and second radial slide bearing segments (25, 28) are supported, define a bearing diameter d of the bearing assembly (10), and
• wherein V≤1 applies to a ratio V=l/d between the bearing length l and the bearing diameter d.
